Daughters and Mothers. The Maternal Figure in a Woman's Life

The book by Evgenia Karlin is a sincere and profound exploration of the complex, contradictory, and sometimes painful relationships between mother and daughter. The author combines professional experience with personal insights, openly sharing her feelings, stories of her clients, and her own reflections on motherhood, attachment, trauma, and growing up. This is not a guide to 'proper' relationships, but a path to awareness, acceptance, and inner freedom. The author addresses the archetypal, sociocultural, and personal levels of motherhood, helping to understand how parental images shape the psyche and how healing is possible—not by trying to redo the past, but by changing one's relationship to it.

This book is for women who wish to understand themselves, their history, and their feelings, to gain the strength to live without looking back at maternal pain, with love—towards themselves, towards the world, and possibly towards their own mother.
