This book is about babies and mothers, but also about fathers,
adolescents, lovers and others. It's about a child's universe and
families, especially mothers, who struggle to survive. Stephen J.
Costello, Ph.D., writes with wit and wisdom; he offers his
observations with insight and intrigue. He explores, among other
themes, eighteen reasons why mothers hate their babies, even as
they love them. It's a book of aphorisms intended for everyone
because childhood experiences affect us all. Fortunately, they stop
us from ever becoming adults. A lecturer in philosophy and
psychology (and a former analyst trained in infant observation),
Dr. Costello draws on a wealth of material; he shares the
reflections of philosophers and psychoanalysts on a subject he
clearly finds fascinating. He is of the strong belief that these
unique and often controversial thoughts should be read by parents
and non-parents alike. His other publications include The Irish
Soul: In Dialogue and The Pale Criminal: Psychoanalytic
Perspectives. He has several other books forthcoming, including one
on the ethics of happiness and another on the philosophy and
psychology of lying. He is a member of the Irish Philosophical
Society and the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy. Stephen J.
Costello lives in Dublin, Ireland.
