Women’s Growth in Diversity: More Writings from the Stone Center

Description

In this second compilation of writings on the special paths of women’s psychological development, renowned teachers and therapists associated with the Stone Center now devote primary attention to the ways that diversity can enhance – rather than threaten – relationships between women and between women and men. In an engaging and personal style, chapters reflect on themes including 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.
