The Shadow of the "Second Mother" explores why has there been such little interest, in psychology, social history and biography, in the important contribution that 'second mothers', such as wet nurses and nannies, have had upon the emotional life of the children they have nursed. For the last three thousand years and throughout most civilisations they have nurtured the children of the privileged, and kept alive the abandoned and unwanted child, and yet there has been a profound silence surrounding the influence they may have had. The author explores the lives of several well-known people who have been wet nursed, such as Michelangelo, Rousseau, Jack London, Nabokov and Klein. She speculates that they all were affected emotionally by their 'second mother', and concludes that a universal feature of such delegated mothering seems to be that the bond between mother and child is broken, and the child may be left with a life-long distrust of close relationships. In The Shadow of the "Second Mother", Coles combines an exploration of attachment theory with neurology, making it possible to give an explanation as to why these important figures have lain unnamed and ignored in our social and psychological consciousness. This intriguing new approach to an ancient practice will be fascinating reading for psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, sociologist and students of social history"-- |cProvided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 Wet nurses |xHistory. |=^A825496 650 0 Nannies |xHistory. |=^A560865 650 0 Mother and child. |=^A3798 650 0 Infants |xDevelopment. |=^A964531 650 0 Infant psychology. |=^A460 650 7 PSYCHOLOGY / Movements / Psychoanalysis. |2bisacsh 650 7 PSYCHOLOGY / Psychotherapy / General. |2bisacsh 650 7 Infant psychology. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00972077 650 7 Infants |xDevelopment. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00972122 650 7 Mother and child. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01026878 650 7 Nannies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01032605 650 7 Wet nurses. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01174125 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 949 |i30372016611425 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s42.95 |tJoyner48 |uJCDE |zUSD 596 1 998 4362840
