“A thoughtful, rigorous text that explores psychodynamic, systemic, and sociopolitical perspectives in its attempt to resolve the unusual paradoxes of the 'good mother' who abuses her children while seeming to care for them.”

Contemporary Psychology


“A highly readable and fascinating review of all aspects of MBPS....The case descriptions are a real strength of the book, as they highlight the difficult nature of working with this population and keep the reader's interest. ..Professionals in mental health, primary health care, and the legal system will find this book extremely helpful when dealing with MBPS parents and their children. In particular, it is a 'must- read' for those professionals in a medical setting where MBPS is most likely to be identified.”
