For Freud, female sexuality was something mysterious - a distant and dark continent. He called on his female colleagues to let him in on this secret. This book can be considered a living and self-explanatory answer to this call. Estela Welldon writes about how a woman's body and its functioning at different stages of life affects her psychology, how this leads to self-harm, and how perverted behavior can be directed at objects that a woman considers to be her own creations - her children. The book also discusses the probable causes and consequences of these disorders, including maternal and paternal incest and prostitution as their possible result. The book is addressed primarily to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and psychologists, as well as to everyone interested in the psychology of motherhood, women and parent-child relationships.< /p>
