Mother Nurture

  

A Mother’s Guide to Health in Body, Mind, and Intimate Relationships

Mothers today juggle more tasks, work longer hours, and sleep less than their own mothers did. Yet the self-healing revolution has overlooked the most significant issue in the lives of some twenty million women: how to cope with the relentless, sometimes overwhelming, stresses of raising young children in the twenty-first century.

Only Mother Nurture:

• considers the long-term well-being and health of mothers
• explains how women can become physically depleted as a result of the demands and stresses of raising a family today
• identifies the Depleted Mother Syndrome many women experience
• presents a comprehensive, integrated program of care for a mother’s body, mind, and intimate relationships
• tells in detail how a mom and dad can work together and share the load fairly
• integrates the perspectives of a psychologist, acupuncturist/nutritionist, and obstetrician/gynecologist.

This is more than another self-help book. With compelling evidence (see references below), clear logic, and heartfelt personal testimony, it is a manifesto for an idea whose time has come: that our society absolutely must take better care of its mothers – and by doing so, take better care of its fathers, children, and families.
