Books by Nini Herman

The autobiography of a woman who underwent Jungian, Freudian and Kleinian analysis.

In this moving collaboration between psychotherapist and patient, Sister Mary relates her own story of abuse as a child by a much loved father, and the three years of psychoanalytic psychotherapy she underwent with Nini Herman when she was in her forties.

From Persephone to Sylvia Plath the mother--daughter relationship has been central to every womana s life. Using her wide experience as a psychotherapist, Nini Herman traces the struggle of mothers and daughters to free themselves from each other -- to recognise each other as separate.
