Product Description
A fascinating look at how mothers and their adult daughters have formed a greater friendship than generations past-and whether or not there should be boundaries. No relationship is more complicated than the one between mothers and daughters- especially today, when a cultural shift can cause a longer period of time of overlapping interests before the traditional adult markers of marriage and family. As a result, these young women are developing deeper bonds with their own mothers, a relationship that sometimes mimics friendship. But are these close bonds healthy? Is it time to cut the umbilical cord? In this eye-opening book, Linda Perlman Gordon and Susan Morris Shaffer explore the modern mother-daughter relationship in all its glorious complexity. Combining a brilliant sociological analysis with fascinating stories of real- life women, Too Close for Comfort? provides a rich, provocative look at the ways mothers and daughters get it right, how they get it wrong-and how they can happily maintain being friends as well as mothers and daughters. |

Too close for comfort, a must for mothers and daughters by F. Barrillon-pomes (Florida, USA)  3 Stars
October 09, 2009
I only recently discovered the complexity of the mother/daughter relationship which I thought I had been, until now, able to overcome. Until I read this book which enlightened me so much. An excellent tool which I immediately shared with my daughter in the hope it will also help her in dealing with her own daughter.

| I Don't Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression
by Terrence Real (Author)
Twenty years of experience treating men and their families has convinced psychotherapist Terrence Real that depression is a silent epidemic in men -- that men hide their condition from family, friends, and themselves to avoid the stigma of depression's "un-manliness." Problems that we think of as typically male -- difficulty with intimacy, workaholism, alcoholism, abusive behavior, and rage-are really attempts to escape depression. And these escape attempts only hurt the people men love and...
