Chodorow, author of The Reproduction of Mothering The Monster Within is a gripping book. Her expertly presented material provides the lively underpinning of this compelling book.-Nancy J.
The Monster Within presents richly nuanced and detailed cases that give the reader a sense of what these difficult feelings of ambivalence are, as they are experienced day to day, consciously and unconsciously. Barbara Almond, an experienced psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, shows us how and why this is so.
Such feelings are particularly scary for mothers, and Dr. From the Back Cover Psychoanalysis has always addressed the monster within: conflicts, fears, and those unacceptable feelings of anger, envy, and hatred with which we all grapple. 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. 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 this beautifully written book, Barbara Almond brings this troubling issue to light. This is essential reading for mothers, in psychotherapy or not, for fathers, and for therapists, including male therapists who will be better able to see womens bodies and motherhood from a womans perspective.-Stanley Coen, M.D., author of Affect Intolerance in Patient and Analyst Book Synopsis Mixed feelings about motherhood-uncertainty over having a child, fears of pregnancy and childbirth, or negative thoughts about ones own children-are not just hard to discuss, they are a powerful social taboo. Her evocative clinical and literary stories make ambivalence a bit easier for mothers to bear. This book is enormously useful to mothers, clinicians and anyone else interested in the psychology of motherhood.-Daphne de Marneffe, author of Maternal Desire: On Children, Love, and the Inner Life Barbara Almonds book is a wonderful new resource for helping mothers, especially new mothers, to tolerate that love between them and their children must be burdened by resentment. Almonds fresh insights and perspectives regarding maternal ambivalence help us to be more comfortable with these feelings.
This is a very enervating, demotivating, discouraging story, as it 6) takes what is best about the best young men - their desire for competence, contribution, cooperation, competition and success - and turns it into something indictable.About the Book Psychoanalysis has always addressed the monster within: conflicts, fears, and those unacceptable feelings of anger, envy, and hatred with which we all grapple. This happens because it has become acceptable in our time to put forward a version of history, the present and the future that is based on 5) a deep hatred for men (or, even worse, a deep hatred for competence). I told him that young men are therefore faced with a Devil’s choice: 4) if they are ambitious and competent (or even not ambitious or competent) then they will be treated, not least by themselves, as if they are expressing precisely the traits that produced this terrible tyranny, and are no better than the infinite oppressors of the past. "I told him that the 1) dominant narrative in our culture is predicated on the assumption that the West is a tyrannical patriarchy that 2) all its accomplishments are a consequence of the exploitation of the dispossessed and that 3) the only true way to a desirable position is through the expression of power. He has recently written the following (numbering added in by me). There is one other way in which I think sports might be a useful focus for Peterson. This is just one example of how Peterson could clarify his message if he engaged with ongoing research on the topics of "how to be."
