Stephanie Dale: Mothercry, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Mothercryis a groundbreaking exploration of the conditions of mothering for ageing mothers of adult children in modern western families.

It is a weaving of experience, ideas and philosophy that extracts longing, loneliness and love from the melee of emotional theory, proposing an entirely new frontier for understanding these primal, universally human, forces.

Mothercrywades into barely explored territories of modern living, including:

• • experiences common to ageing mothers of adults in modern nuclear families
  • the nature of longing, loneliness and love
  • power forces undermining the health and wellbeing of western families
  • the importance of finding new language for feeling in the human body
  • the restoration of health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities.
