895.0. "Please suggest a book " by TOOK::SANKAR (Arundhati Sankar) Wed Dec 13 1989 08:44

I am looking for a good book to help me resolve my conflicts with my mother.
If you know of a good book please let me know.

Thanks,

Arun.

895.1conflict comes in soooo many flavorsULTRA::ZURKOWe're more paranoid than you are.Wed Dec 13 1989 08:469
Gosh, it might depend on what your conflicts are. I've found "Getting to Yes"
(which I just loaned to my sweetie, so I don't have the author information
handy) very good at getting me out of my win/lose rut. And I picked up "Dance
of Anger" in the store once, read one paragraph about how a daughter feels when
she is angry at her mother, and put it down. It was too close to the bone.

Then there is Model Mugging, for establishing boundaries and saying no (though
a graduate could say if it was easily applicable to mother relationships).

    Nancy Friday wrote a book called "My Mother, My Self" which may
    have some useful stuff in it (I haven't read it, but I've heard
    some good things).

895.4a good one...GODIVA::benceWhat's one more skein of yarn?Wed Dec 13 1989 12:585
    "The Dance of Anger" by Lerner.  There are several interesting
    case studies involving mother/daughter interactions.  It's available
    in paperback.

895.5A very interesting bookSONATA::HARMONWed Dec 13 1989 13:355
    I'll second the recommendation of .4 for "Dance of Anger".  I have it
    and it also gets into other types of interactions.

895.6Another RecommendationSSDEVO::CHAMPIONI am perfectly imperfect!Fri Dec 15 1989 23:375
    "Making Peace With Your Parents" by Harold Bloomfield gave me a lot
    of guidance with regard to coping  with my problems with my folks.
