Excerpt: Mother Daughter Relationship Repair
I have permission from Health Communications to distribute
an excerpt from the new book, "Daughters and Mothers: Making It Work." Written by mother and daughter psychotherapists Julie Firman and Dorothy Firman, the book is an intense form of written therapy for women who have a damaged relationship with their mother and/or daughter. The excerpt is called "Guidelines for Mothers and Daughters." It's a summary of suggestions for stepping out of our roles as "mothers" and "daughters" in order to deal with each other as adults. With over 50 years of psychiatric practice between them -- specializing in mother-daughter issues -- the Firmans believe this shift in perspective is essential to healing old wounds and building a future together. Like the book, the excerpt is laced with case histories taken from therapy sessions and workshops. The excerpt concludes with an exercise taken from the Workbook section of the book. The Workbook contains dozens of assignments to help you create personal solutions to your relationship problems. To get the excerpt, send with the subject line, "Send Firmans" and I will reply with the text (and *only* the text -- no file attachments or opt-in mailing list jive). Thanks. |
