The question of what it means to be a mother is a very contentious topic in psychoanalysis and in wider society. In this book, the authors explore the maternal role through perspectives from psychoanalysis, art, philosophy, political and gender studies. In particular, they examine issues of personal and gender identity are shaped by how patients manage to separate from their mother figures, how this has, at times, led psychoanalysis and society to hold mothers responsible for various personal and social problem, and how maternal vulnerability has been overlooked.
