Women's Growth in Diversity

Presenting a compilation of writings on the special paths of women's psychological development, teachers and therapists associated with the Stone Center devote attention to the ways that diversity can enhance - rather than threaten - relationships between women and men. Themes covered include the centrality of connection in women's lives, empathy as an antidote to shame and silence, the role of ethnicity in women's sense of self, anger as a resource for change, building mutuality between women and men, and the special qualities of intimacy in lesbian relationships. The book should be of value to those interested in the psychology of women, the role of connection in all of our lives, and the transformative power of human relationships.
