In this beautifully written book, Barbara Almond brings this troubling issue to light. She uncovers the roots of ambivalence, tells how it manifests in lives of women and their children, and describes a spectrum of maternal behavior-from normal feelings to highly disturbed mothering. In a society where perfection in parenting is the unattainable ideal, this compassionate book also shows how women can affect positive change in their lives. 606 $aMotherhood$xPsychological aspects 606 $aMother and child$xPsychological aspects 606 $aLove, Maternal$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aMotherhood$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aMother and child$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aLove, Maternal$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a306.874/3 686 $aSOC028000$2bisacsh 700 $aAlmond$b Barbara$01184594 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956691003321 996 $aThe monster within$94380012 997 $aUNINA
