Silencing The Self - Dana C. Jack

An important contribution to the fields of psychology and women's studies, Silencing the Self is a startling treatise on the roots of female depression that draws on new understandings of the importance of relationships in women's lives. This book is relevant to anyone grappling with the central challenge of relationships: how to achieve connections to others without losing oneself.--Deborah Tannen (author of You Just Don't Understand), New York Times Book Review
