Abstract
Theories on mother-daughter relationships have long been one-sided and biologically biased. The resulting images put the mental and physical health of mothers and daughters at risk. This article examines the mo thers' perspective, and highlights the mutuality and dynamics in the m other-daughter relationship. New perspectives for therapeutic activiti es are opened up.
