Description
Women today have achieved new levels of professional and personal goals and yet the support they need from their women friends can be undermined by feelings of envy, competition and anger. The authors tell us why denying these feelings produces new conflicts and distance between women. As psychotherapists they offer ways of repairing and sustaining these most important relationships.
