BOOKLIST REVIEW - 3/1/99
The time of potentially the most severe mother-daughter
conflict, so dramatically captured in the title of this book,
is the daughter's teenage years. The mother of an adolecent
daughter needs to be able to draw on every possible resource
to provide the understanding and suport during this time,
which is likely also to be a pivotal time in her own life.
Cohen-Sandler, a clinical psychologist specializing in issues
of women and adolescent girls, and Silver, senior editor of
the official Girl Scouts' magazine,Girls' Life, have done an
excellent and very thorough job of providing insight and
constructive suggestions for mothers of adolescent girls.
Perhaps the most reassuring message embodied in this work is
this: take heart--no matter how bizarre the relationship may
feel, it is very likely others have encountered similar
confusion and frustration. And there is hope. This book
offers solid ground when it may feel like things are falling
apart. --Grace Fill
