"We all think of Freud as like, a mom obsessive, and that’s a false memory. There’s a lot of cultural misremembering of psychoanalysis, for better or for worse."

@hzeavin.bsky.social reflects on the history of psychoanalytic discourse and motherhood in connection with her new book, "Mother Media":

thank you!

"[Zeavin's] book is by far the most intellectually rewarding, and it is full of fascinating forays into historical byways."
