Between Women
As women today pursue new professional and personal goals, they often find that the support they need from their women friends has been undermined by feelings of envy, competition, and anger. This book is an attempt to provide a feminist psychoanalytic understanding of the emotional and psychological processes that are set in train when women perceive differences in each other. It is about the difficulties women face in coming to terms with those differences. We hope it will enable women to handle those differences more productively and less destructively than is often the case at present.
What Do Women Want?
'This book highlights the fact that women are brought up to understand men's emotional needs but men are not brought up to understand women's.' Woman Many women today feel that they pour love, commitment and understanding into their relationships, but that it is not returned in kind. He seems secure and independent, she feels insecure and clingy. The truth is that men and women are both dependent. But his needs are catered to so well - first by his mother, then by his girlfriend or wife - that he doesn't know he has them, while her needs for closeness and tenderness are constantly rebuffed as he retreats from intimacy. Susie Orbach and Luise Eichenbaum set out to explore this crisis in the relationships of men and women. They explain how men have learned to 'manage' their dependency needs very differently to women, and why women feel dependent and hungry for love. Finally they show why dependency on both sides is the essential core of any successful relationship.

Understanding Women
Understanding Women is a classic. Luise Eichenbaum & Susie Orbach, co-founders of The Women's Therapy Centre, showcase their understanding of women's psychology through case vignettes of the many women they have worked with. Their original and enlightening theory brings the mother-daughter relationship into the heart of a girl's developing self. They explain women's often troubled relationship to their bodies, the myths around emotional dependency and independence, the dilemmas of sexuality, and the need to re-theorise attachment and differentiation so that it speaks to women's experience. The book discusses the process of therapy and the challenges on the therapist to exemplify a new way of working with women in psychotherapy.

Dilemmas of Trust
Examines the reasons people trust or distrust each other and the expectations and vulnerabilities that accompany those attitudes. Using examples from daily life, interviews, literature, and film, the author, identified as an "independent philosopher" who has written several books, describes the role of trust in friendship and family, and the connection between self-trust, self-respect, and self-esteem. She then describes strategies for coping with distrust and ways to design workable relationships despite it, and discusses the themes of forgiveness, reconciliation, and restoration of trust.

Now, with a new introduction. Luise Eichenbaum and Susie Orbach offer compelling portraits and insightful case histories that explore dependency as a basic human need rather than a sign of weakness. Their conclusions will radically change women's lives and relationships for the better -- and offer a more insightful, inclusive vision of intimacy for the next millennium.
