Abstract

The author explores several diverse elements of the complex mother/daughter relationship and presents creative therapeutic means to facilitate understanding and healing through the use of poetry, fairy tales, and stories. Published literature is cited and specific practical prescriptives are offered for therapeutic intervention with individuals, families, and groups. Interpretation of these genres into therapy sessions expands the clients' awareness of their own and others' experiences, demythologizes ineffective and damaging cultural expectations, and suggests ways to redefine and transform the mother/daughter bond.
