Summary: Definitions of Mother
Review: What I loved most about this book was that the women who gave birth to us are our mothers, but women who teach us life lessons are also our mothers. The definition of mother grows with our abilities to accept more nurturers and teachers in our lives. It is very important to accept the fact about our mothers that they were only human and did the best they could, but that's another life lesson that can ripple more globally.Ultimately, this book is about choosing mentors and tolerance for human frailties. I'm glad it's still in print.

Summary: Very subjective view
Review: Whilst this book does raise some interesting issues it keeps coming back to the author's sexual disfunction, all of which is the result of the mother! The author has selected professionals to back up her view rather than giving a more objective picture of her past and therefore our pasts. Problems with sexuality are so prolific in the US that I can see why so many women rave about this book. However for those of us who are not screwed up about sex chose another book. It is also a great shame that after goodness knows how many years and how many books this lady has still not dealt with her issues.
