Author: Barbara Almond 

“Psychoanalysis has always addressed the monster within: conflicts, fears, and those unacceptable feelings of anger, envy, and hatred with which we all grapple. Such feelings are particularly scary for mothers, and Dr. Barbara Almond, an experienced psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, shows us how and why this is so. The Monster Within presents richly nuanced and detailed cases that give the reader a sense of what these difficult feelings of ambivalence are, as they are experienced day to day, consciously and unconsciously. Her expertly presented material provides the lively underpinning of this compelling book.”–Nancy J. Chodorow, author of The Reproduction of Mothering

“The Monster Within is a gripping book. Dr. Almond’s fresh insights and perspectives regarding maternal ambivalence help us to become more comfortable with these feelings. This book is enormously useful to mothers, clinicians and anyone else interested in the psychology of motherhood.”–Daphne de Marneffe, author of Maternal Desire: On Children, Love, and the Inner Life

“Barbara Almond’s book is a wonderful new resource for helping mothers, especially new mothers, to tolerate that love between them and their children must be burdened by resentment. Her evocative clinical and literary stories make ambivalence a bit easier for mothers to bear. This is essential reading for mothers, in psychotherapy or not, for fathers, and for therapists, including male therapists who will become better able to see women’s bodies and motherhood from a woman’s perspective.”–Stanley Coen, M.D., author of Affect Intolerance in Patient and Analyst
