Sommario/riassunto

The Mother and Her Child: Clinical Aspects of Attachment, Separation, and Loss, edited by Salman Akhtar focuses upon the formation of an individual's self in the crucible of the early mother-child relationship. Akhtar brings together contributions from distinguished psychoanalysts and child observational researchers to explore the nuances of mothering and the child's tie to the mother.
