The influential group of scholars working out of the Stone Center of Wellesley College has drawn together their most important essays to make a major contribution to the literature of women's development. Their groundbreaking work on developmental theory is based on the prominence of relationships in women's experience of themselves, as opposed to the disconnection that traditional developmental theory asserts is necessary to achieve a sense of self. This volume will be of interest to clinical psychologists and social workers, psychotherapists, developmental psychologists, feminist scholars, and sociologists.

Editorial Reviews
From Scientific American
The work of the Stone Center represents the most significant epistemological shift in psychoanalytic thinking since Freud, transforming not only WHAT we think, but also HOW we think about female development. The authors inspire us to join with them to bring theory and clinical practice closer to the real world of female experience and to approach this challenge with courage, integrity, curiosity, and heart. In both content and spirit, this is a most revolutionary work.
From The New Yorker
Traditional psychology devalues and mystifies women. The work of the Stone Center revalues and illuminates.
