MATTHEWS, ARLENE MODICA; COCOLA, NANCY WASSERMAN; COCCOLA, NANCY WASSERMAN How to Manage Your Mother: Skills and Strategies to Improve Mother-Daughter Relationships
Riverside, New Jersey, U.S.A. Simon & Schuster. 1992. (ISBN: 0671742167). Hardcover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Book.From the PublisherDo you and your mother remain caught in the same behavioral patterns, having the same exasperating conflicts over and over again--even though you know there is a point at which your mother stops and you start as an autonomous, independent woman who always feels compelled to answer to Her? What most grown daughters don't realize is that they are partially responsible for perpetuating these painful and unproductive mother-daughter encounters. A step-by-step guide, How to Manage Your Mother helps women pinpoint the trouble spots in their mother-daughter relationships, first by outlining six of the most common maternal styles for daughters to identify with. Then, simple fast-acting strategies--such as learning to set limits, deflect criticism, and use humor--are discussed. Practicing these skills leads to immediate results in equalizing the mother-daughter balance of power. The roles of other family relationships such as father-daughter and their significance are also illuminated and put to use to help mothers and daughters communicate better. As a daughter you will learn to contend with your "Internal Mother"--that maternal voice every daughter carries around inside her head, regardless of where Mom is. Very Good/Very Good.
