Mothers: Their Power and Influence

Mothers: Their Power and Influence

A unique bond

Dr Ann Dally, a practising psychiatrist, provides an in-depth perspective on mothers, based on her experience observing mothers at a personal level.

Her perspective is intended to provide mothers, and new mothers, with a deeper understanding of the forces that may at times seem irrational.

She explores the three stages of motherhood: enclosure, extension and separation and stresses that it is important to understand these stages to be able to identify certain behavioural patterns.

Although there are a variety of other factors, understanding the mother-child relationship does play a significant role.

Included throughout the book are true accounts of Dr Ann Dallyâ€™s encounters with mothers and children, as well as excerpts from well-known works from D.H. Lawrence and Philip Roth, who both wrote about their own â€˜enclosingâ€™ mothers.

Going beyond the three stages of mothering, Dr Ann Dally covers the three types of environment that tie in with the stages of mothering.

This important analysis provides a further understanding of how the motherâ€™s behaviour, along with the environment that surrounds the child, impacts a childâ€™s future.

Mothers: Their Power and Influence sheds light on a variety of perspectives and really explores the dynamics and behaviours that make up mother/child relationships.
