If you want to know what psychotherapy is, start here. For many people in psychological distress, the route is all too clear - a visit to the general practitioner, anti-depressants and, in severe cases, hospitalization. The distinction between that path and the experience of psychotherapy - especially psychoanalysis - is rarely clear. Nini Herman makes an eloquent plea for a different approach. She takes the reader carefully through the meaning the main figures, the issues and above all, the process of psychotherapy. This is the first book which carefully describes that process in truly accessible terms.

From Persephone to Sylvia Plath the mother-daughter relationship has been central to every woman's life. Using her wide experience as a psychotherapist, Nini Herman traces the struggle of mothers and daughters to free themselves from each other - to recognise each other as separate. Where they succeed, their relationship can be a source of enduring strength; when they fail, it can lead to frustration, madness and even suicide.

In this moving collaboration between psychotherapist and patient, Sister Mary relates her own story of abuse as a child by a much loved father, and the three years of psychoanalytic psychotherapy she underwent with Nini Herman when she was in her forties. This book provides an insight into the developing relationship between a patient and her psychotherapist and includes the important part played by the use of art therapy when Sister Mary became almost mute.
