Product Description
Book Description
Cloud and Townsend identify six types of moms and show how they profoundly affect our lives.
From the Publisher
Synopsis:
A 15-year-old South Carolina girl endured being chained to her mother 24 hours a day for a month as a court-ordered punishment for skipping school. Many adults would consider that cruel and unusual punishment. However, clinical psychologists Henry Cloud and John Townsend have found that pinpointing and resolving conflicts with one’s mother are crucial to a healthy, adult life. "Mothering is the most significant, demanding, and underpaid profession around," say Cloud and Townsend. "Yet, for many, mom also means conflicts or problems." In their new book, The Mom Factor: Dealing with the mother you had, didn’t have, or still contend with, Cloud and Townsend identify six "mom types," that explain "how the mothering process breaks down in different ways." The results of these unhealthy mothering styles are relational, functional, spiritual, and emotional problems in the adult. The "Phantom Mom"—an absent and detached mother—can result in the adult child never learning how to connect and be intimate with others. The adult child of a "China Doll Mom"—unable to deal with unpleasant or stressful life situations—avoids strong or negative emotions and withdraws from others when hurt or angry. In The Mom Factor, the authors take one chapter to "describe the problem and the needs that may not have been met by each of the ‘mom types.’" Then a following chapter provides "the steps to meeting needs that were unmet, and repairing whatever was broken." The authors conclude by focusing on "the unique issues that women and men have with mothers, including their own tasks as parents." The Mom Factor Workbook, available separately, asks frank, soul-searching questions to help readers determine what kind of mother they had, how their mother has shaped who they are today, and how to change into the person they want to be. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
