Too Long a Child Paperback

Nini Herman

From Persephone to Sylvia Plath the mother--daughter relationship has been central to every womana s life. Using her wide experience as a psychotherapist, Nini Herman traces the struggle of mothers and daughters to free themselves from each other -- to recognise each other as separate. Where they succeed, their relationship can be a source of enduring strength; when they fail, it can lead to frustration, madness and even suicide.
