Title:Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters

In this important and conversation-starting book, veteran psychoanalyst Erica Komisar offers a provocative and compelling premise: a mother’s emotional and physical presence in her child’s life — especially during the first three years — means that her child has a greater chance of growing up emotionally healthy, happy, secure, and resilient. Compassionate and balanced, and focusing on the emotional health and well-being of children as well as that of the mothers who care for them, this book shows mothers and fathers how to give their children the best chance for developing into healthy and loving adults.
