That is a horrible story, I'm trying to understand this maternal impact, and I think you helped a lot, thank you very much for posting this.

@Tribute2the80s One would expect that modern writer would avoid these "metaphors", to which you refer. But before this time, it was a very biased writing community with the opinion that women are in the kitchen, Africans are sold to work and gays should be terminated. So, yeah, one would expect that the term 'mother' meant the 'stay-at-home and raise children wife'. Just remember that the terms used cannot always be taken literally.

@naitdane So I guess "mother" is sort of a metaphor for the caregiver who provides nurturance, empathy, soothing. "father" would then be the protector and the guider. More metaphors than references to actual parents with rigidly assigned gender roles.

@Tribute2the80s Refering to the 'mother' in developmental psychology is like refering to 'he' or 'his' in nomal writing. These personal pronouns do not specifically mean 'him' or a male person. When talking about 'mother' as a referant in developmental psychology, the speaker could be meaning 'primary care-giver', who may or may not be male, female, genetically related or unrelated. Nait

@drsphalford I don't think she disclosed any identifying information about the client.

@Tribute2the80s You might want to read D. W. Winnicott if you want to understand where she is coming from in terms of the problems that can result from a not-good-enough mother not creating a safe and effective holding environment for the infant to develop.

[drsphalford]

what about client / patient confidentiality? Not sure I'd feel happy if I had a therapist for them to post my very personal material on you tube!

[Tribute2the80s]

Why so much blame on the mother?

The problem is " into " not just onto !!!

I think... 99 % of all relationships problems are "pi!"
