Authors: Jean Baker Miller, M.D., Irene P. Stiver

Through examples drawn from their practices, the authors show how women learn to experience real connection and overcome psychological problems. Proposing that disconnections are the source of psychological problems, they describe the origins and progressions of these problems. Based on this experience, they offer a new understanding of human development that points the way to change in all of our institutions -- work, school, and communities, as well as families.
