Becoming Mature

Becoming Mature presents as integrated theory of development and maturation focusing upon the influences of childhood experiences on the adult lives of women. A hermeneutical-phenomenological method is used to analyze and interpret case studies and to establish a grounded theory of mature and immature child-parent relationships. This provides a framework for understanding the relationships in women's lives which influence them in either positive or negative ways. --- from book's back cover
