How might we better understand our travels through Grandmotherland? In this lively exploration, an experienced child psychotherapist draws together a wide range of perspectives on the role and experience of grandmothers. Judith Edwards looks back to the past and forward to the future, while being rooted in the reality of the modern grandmother' s life. We meet ' good' grannies, ' bad' grannies, and all those in between, as well as women who decided to be agents of transmission in other ways than passing on their DNA. Our guide looks at how the meme of the grandmother is affected by personality, culture, tradition and ' norms' and considers how psychoanalytic insights may help us understand this territory of life.
' Wow! . . . it reminds me of my grandmother' s butterscotch, kept locked in a cupboard, definitely delicious but never enough . . . ' Juliet Hopkins, Ph. D. , author of An Independent Mind
