Women's Growth In Connection: Writings from the Stone Center

by Judith V. Jordan, Jean Baker Miller, Alexandra G. Kaplan

This book presents an innovative relational perspective on women's ways of being in the world. It offers an alternative to traditional models of human development that define health and maturity in terms of separation and consistently define women as deficient. Written by leading clinicians and teachers from the Stone Center at Wellesley College, the book foregrounds women's meaning systems, values, and organization of experiences, which often revolve around relationships rather than the self. The authors set out basic relational principles and consider the implications for life challenges that many women face, as well as for psychotherapy.

Such an interesting read! A compilation of essays shaping the beginning of relational-cultural therapy stemming from feminist theory roots.
