Self Esteem and Female Gender Roles in Daughters With Enmeshed Mothers

Do you ever wonder why your female partner acts the way she does? Relationship questions are among the toughest for mental health professionals to tackle. Does her mom have a large impact? How about her grandmother? In Self Esteem and Female Gender Roles in Daughters With Enmeshed Mothers, the author makes an attempt to give readers an insight into the traits and patterns that begin upon birth and become a deeply ingrained part of the daughter's lives. The areas condense into three basic groupings: having a great relationship with their mothers across an entire lifespan (smallest group 20%); beginning with a great relationship as a child and disintegrating as the teen rebellion years turn into independent adulthood (40%); finally, having a horrid relationship as a child, but making an improvement when independent adulthood arrives (40%). This book will give many women pause to think about what was really going on in their childhood with the women closest to them.
