This book takes a fresh look at women in their maternal role. In
the twenty-first century, with its frenzy and heterogeneity, where
the mixture of modernity and post-modernity is not without danger,
motherhood cannot escape the impact of social and cultural
transformations. Psycho-history, the accumulation and variety of
psychoanalytic theories of femininity and motherhood, the
contribution of gender studies, cross-disciplinary research, and
listening to what our patients have to say-all this has yielded, in
the past few decades, much controversial data that challenges
orthodox classical thinking on the role and function of women as
mothers.Mothers in the twenty-first century confront us, both in
clinical practice and in theory, with fascinating challenges that,
to some extent, subvert the traditional maternal ideal: the
motherhood of single women; motherhood in which the mother-child
relationship seems minimal (in the case of very busy working
mothers); teenage motherhood in which there is no true awareness of
the maternal function; motherhood in couples of homosexual women;
men who take upon themselves the maternal function (men-mothers);
complex motherhood by virtue of the multiple variants which have
nowadays become possible thanks to new reproductive techniques;
shared motherhood; surrogate motherhood; sublimated motherhood; and
perverse motherhood.The Contributors: H. Harsch, Giovanna Ambrosio,
Estela Welldon, Toni Heineman, Ehrenfeld Diane, Joan Raphael-Leff,
Ruth Axelrod, Leticia Glocer, Sylvie Faure-Pragier, Guignard
Florence, Mariam Alizade, Bleichmar Emilce, and Teresa Lartigue
