Difficult Mothers: Understanding and Overcoming Their Power Terri Apter explores the complex bond between mothers and their children, revealing five different types of difficult mothering styles. Using the latest research on human attachment and brain development, she provides insight into why these relationships can be painful struggles.

With compassion and wisdom, Terri Apter offers guidance for readers seeking to understand and heal from these relationships.
