Virginia Beane Rutters moving and provocative study explores why woman-to-woman psychotherapy is so powerfully transforming. At the core of this transformation is the archetype of the motherdaughter relationship. Under the millennia of patriarchy, mothers and daughters have historically been alienated from one another. A womans alienation from her mother becomes an alienation from herself, from her own empowered femininity.
