Reviews

"A ture contribution to analytic knowledge that merits reading by both analysts and cultural anthropologists." Warren S. Poland, Psychoanalytic Quarterly "An engagingly sincere piece of soulsearching by a widely respected psychological theorist... Three cheers for Nancy Chodorow for doing what she can to move the elephantine Freudian establushment a few inches closer to a psychology of joyous diversity." Theodore Roszak, San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle"
