Paula Caplan rejects the accepted wisdom that women enjoy pain and abuse, and argues that, on the contrary, much of the pain women endure is to avoid further, or worse, treatment. Women stay with abusive husbands in order, for instance, to protect themselves and their children from the greater suffering of poverty. She makes the point that the quintessentially feminine traits of nurturing, patience, and self-denial are not pathological, as is often stated. Her book confronts the myth of women's masochism as it affects every aspect of women's lives; it challenges psychiatry to change the way it percieves women; and it offers women a positive new view of themselves.In the new preface to this edition, Paula Caplan regrets that most of the data still apply, and speculates why that is. She also provides an update on the views of the American Psychiatric Association on women's masochism, theerby revealing much about the condition of women in our civilization.The Myth of Women's Masochism is likely to remain relevant for some time, a key text for women's studies courses and a source of confidence for women themselves. 606 $aWomen$zUnited States$xPsychology 606 $aMasochism 606 $aSelf-denial 606 $aMothers$zUnited States$xPsychology 607 $aUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xPsychology. 615 0$aMasochism. 615 0$aSelf-denial. 615 0$aMothers$xPsychology. 676 $a155.633 700 $aCaplan$b Paula J.$0624991 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780561103321 996 $aThe myth of women's masochism$93787580 997 $aUNINA
