Best Friends provides the missing link to understanding and recognizing the impact of some of the most important relationships in girls'' and women''s lives. Every woman remembers the sting of betrayal of a girlfriend, and every parent of a daughter has seen her come home from school in tears because a girl she thought was her best friend suddenly and inexplicably became her enemy. While boys hash out differences with fists and kicks, girls'' societies are marked by secrets and whispers and shifting affection. The lessons learned as an adolescent girl are often carried into adulthood, making women fear confrontation--especially with other women. But the intensity of the struggles reflects the support and healing to be found within these friendships. Girls find themselves in the mirror of other girls, hence the power each has to influence the other. Ruthellen Josselson and Terri Apter''s many years of working with hundreds of girls and women have given them insight into the emotionally important relationships that are integral to a girl''s self-image. Best Friends explores the bonds of friendship between girls and between women and the sorrows and joys they experience together, from early adolescence and throughout their lives.From the Trade Paperback edition.

This book questions women's slow progress towards equality. Neither male conspiracies nor women's psychology is at fault, but social structures which fail to accommodate people who both need to earn a living and who are obliged to care for their families underlie persistent inequalities. Many women do succeed in combining motherhood with career success, but they do so by escaping set patterns both at work and in the home. This book charts the odds against them and their methods of triumph.

Myth of Maturity
What Teenagers Need from Parents to Become Adults

What do young people at the threshold of adulthood really need and want? Why do so many responsible and motivated teenagers become young adults who are still dependent, financially and emotionally, on their parents? Why are many young people today so quick to leave childhood behind, but so slow to become adults?In this wise and compassionate book, Terri Apter debunks outdated and misguided ideas about maturity: Acting in the name of love, many parents withdraw emotional or practical support, thinking it best for a son or daughter to solve his or her own problems—even to suffer alone the consequences of mistakes. Apter shows us that young adults actually need a parent's guidance and support, while also requiring respect and independence. Based on carefully observed case studies and current research, this book describes how we can support young people through a crucial stage in their development.
You Don't Really Know Me
Why Mothers and Daughters Fight and How Both Can Win

Mothers and teenage daughters argue more than any other child-parent pair—on average every two-and-a-half days. These quarrels, Terri Apter shows, are attempts to negotiate changes in a relationship that is valued by both mothers and daughters. A daughter often feels her mother doesn't know or understand her, and by fighting hopes to force her mother into a new awareness of who she really is, how she has changed, and what she is now capable of doing and understanding. But mothers often misinterpret their daughter's outbursts as signs of rejection, and they may pull back feeling hurt and confused. Through case studies and conversations between mothers and daughters, Apter shows mothers how to interpret the meanings behind a daughter's angry words and how to emerge from arguments with a new closeness.

Raising confident, motivated, and caring children is a parent's greatest challenge. Drawing on her own extensive research on children and parents, Terri Apter has created a guide based on "emotional coaching"—learning to respond appropriately to a child's feelings—that helps parents raise children to solve problems, to be socially active and understand others, and to manage emotions, all of which are crucial to developing confidence and functioning successfully in society. Hugely insightful, reassuring, and accessible, The Confident Child is a truly necessary parenting guide. Winner of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International Educator's Award.

Why We Fight, Why We're Jealous, and Why We'll Love Each Other No Matter What

This “substantial contribution to the literature on sibling relationships” (Library Journal) explores the intricacy, friction, and love in bonds between sisters. Relationships between women are often freighted with a rocky mix of emotions—devotion and disregard, affection and loathing, admiration and envy—leading to anguish and confusion on the playground, in the home, and in the boardroom. Negotiating her layered feelings toward a sister shapes a woman’s psychology as forcefully as do her relationships with her parents. Drawing on compelling interviews and new research, Terri Apter considers the many aspects of the sister relationship from birth through adulthood. The need to fight to differentiate oneself from a sister, as well the protectiveness one feels for that same person, is explained by reference to extensive psychological and biological evidence.

When we marry, we believe the bond is between only two individuals. Few of us realize the power that in-laws exert over our lives.

Here is an essential book for husbands and wives, parents and children, seeking to strengthen the bonds of family.

Mother love is often seen as sacred, but for many children the relationship is a painful struggle. Using the newest research on human attachment and brain development, Terri Apter, an internationally acclaimed psychologist and writer, unlocks the mysteries of this complicated bond. She showcases the five different types of difficult mother—the angry mother, the controlling mother, the narcissistic mother, the envious mother, and the emotionally neglectful mother—and explains the patterns of behavior seen in each type. Apter also explores the dilemma at the heart of a difficult relationship: why a mother has such a powerful impact on us and why we continue to care about her responses long after we have outgrown our dependence. She then shows how we can conduct an “emotional audit” on ourselves to overcome the power of the complex feelings a difficult mother inflicts. In the end this book celebrates the great resilience of sons and daughters of difficult mothers as well as acknowledging their special challenges.

Once children hit adolescence, it seems as if overnight “I love you” becomes “leave me alone,” and any question from a parent can be dismissed with one word: “fine.” But while they may not show it, teenagers rely on their parents’ curiosity, delight and connection to guide them through this period of exuberant growth as they navigate complex changes to their bodies, their thought processes, their social world and their self-image.In The Teen Interpreter, psychologist Terri Apter looks into teens’ minds—minds that are experiencing powerful new emotions and awareness of the world around them—to show how parents can revitalise their relationship with their children. She illuminates the rapid neurological developments of a teen’s brain, along with their new, complex emotions and offers strategies for disciplining unsafe actions constructively and empathetically. Apter includes up-to-the moment case studies that shed light on the anxieties and vulnerabilities that today’s teens face, and she thoughtfully explores the positives and pitfalls of social media.With perceptive conversation exercises that synthesise research from more than thirty years in the field, Apter illustrates how teens signal their changing needs and identities—and how parents can interpret these signals and see the world through their teens’ eyes. The Teen Interpreter is a generous roadmap for enjoying the most challenging, and rewarding, parenting years.

Es probable que en algún momento u otro se haya planteado entender a los adolescentes e, incluso, haya deseado disponer de un manual para hacer frente a dicho reto. Este libro se presenta como una guía para disfrutar de los años de crianza más desafiantes y gratificantes.Una vez que los niños llegan a la adolescencia, parece que, de la noche a la mañana, el «te quiero» se convierte en «déjame en paz», y cualquier pregunta de los padres puede ser resuelta con solo una palabra: «bien». Pero, aunque no lo demuestren, los adolescentes confían en la curiosidad, el deleite y la conexión de sus padres para que los guíen a través de este periodo de crecimiento ilusionante, mientras navegan por complejos cambios en sus cuerpos, sus procesos de pensamiento, su mundo social y su imagen de sí mismos.En Cómo interpretar a los adolescentes, la psicóloga Terri Apter se adentra en las mentes de los y las adolescentes, unas mentes que están experimentando nuevas y poderosas emociones y una nueva conciencia del mundo que les rodea, para mostrar cómo los padres pueden revitalizar la relación con sus hijos. La autora ilumina los vertiginosos cambios neurológicos del cerebro de los adolescentes, junto con sus nuevas y complejas emociones, y ofrece estrategias para disciplinar las acciones inseguras de forma constructiva y empática. Apter incluye estudios de casos actuales que arrojan luz sobre las ansiedades y vulnerabilidades a las que se enfrentan los adolescentes de hoy en día, y explora de forma reflexiva los aspectos positivos y los peligros de las redes sociales.Con perspicaces ejercicios de conversación que sintetizan la investigación de más de treinta años en este campo, Apter ilustra cómo los adolescentes señalan sus necesidades e identidades cambiantes, y cómo los padres y madres pueden interpretar estas señales y ver el mundo a través de los ojos de sus hijos. La autora, Terri Apter, es escritora, psicóloga y miembro jubilada de Newnham College, Cambridge. Residente en Inglaterra, sus libros sobre dinámica familiar, identidad y relaciones recibieron reconocimiento internacional.
