The authors are troubled by models of “human” development inspired by males which define health and maturity in terms of separation and autonomy. Their 17 papers frame an innovative “relational” perspective on women's psychological development. Part I presents some of the beginning principles while Part II applies them to such topics as work inhibitions, eating disorders, depression, and therapeutic implications.
