Myths of mighty women : their application in psychoanalytic psychotherapy
Kramer Richards, A (ed)
Myths of mighty women : their application in psychoanalytic psychotherapy - London Karnac Books 2015
Women whose mothers were not called upon to achieve in a man's world have a difficult time seeing themselves as powerful enough to do that. Identifying with mighty women of the past and of the present culture can help them to permit themselves to achieve more than their mothers did. This book provides several such myths from a diverse range of traditions and cultures, each of which is a standard for a particular aspect of female power. The book is meant to empower patients by helping therapists to understand how and why patients need images of strong, nurturing women so that they themselves can become strong nurturing women.
