Riassunto

In The Mother And The Manager Elizabeth Ralston courageously explores how our traditional gender roles create codependent behaviors in men and women and offers positive, workable solutions toward dealing with this problem. The Mother And The Manager takes an in-depth look at how our society has evolved and impacted gender roles into the twenty-first century. As 12-Step recovery groups have flourished in recent years, women have been educated about why they have issues such as low self-esteem, perfectionism, rigidity, relationship failures, inability to get their needs met and fear of conflict. Elizabeth has bravely shared about how patriarchy has impacted her life and how recovery has helped her to empower and heal herself. She will help many who are searching for answers to their questions and will help them on the road to recovery. I salute her ability to face her fears about "rocking the boat" in writing this book and taking the risk to speak her truth and stay on her God-inspired path" Ginger S. Edwards, Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Addictions Specialist Specializing in Codependency and Trauma

L'autore

Elizabeth Ralston, M.A, has been actively involved in 12-step recovery programs for over twenty years. She first became interested in writing about the connection between culture and codependency after keeping a personal journal in the early years of her recovery from codependency. After examining her own background she became intrigued by the notion that codependency could be created, in large part, by our culture's expectations. An academic background in psychology and sociology enabled her to pursue research on this topic. After years of study she wrote The Mother And The Manager to explore how our traditional gender roles contribute to codependent behaviors in men and women. Elizabeth is married and lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
