Mothering and Ambivalence

Description

Parenting, single motherhood and the breakdown of the family are all subjects of current political and social debate in the West, and there is little agreement among cultural commentators on what mothers should be, what children need, and how those needs conflict with parental needs. The contributors to Mothering and Ambivalence address these issues, countering the reluctance of current feminist literature to embrace psychoanalytic understandings of dependency, identity and anxiety. They use psychoanalysis to go beyond the often simplistic claims of the political debate on mothering. In discussions of parenting and gender relations within families, the authors also surmount the narrowness of purely feminist polemics, remembering the importance of the diverse identities for women who become mothers.
