"This is a fine book full of support for single parents who have to face the job of raising children alone, and having to share them with another caregiver when they return to work. I would advise all single mothers to read it." T. Berry Brazelton, M.D. Professor of Pediatrics Emeritus at Harvard Medical School developer of the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale author of more than 30 books on child development former host of Emmy-award-winning TV show What Every Baby Knows ~ "The responsibilities of single mothers can be daunting. Soul Mothers' Wisdom provides inspiring counsel to help them flourish. The stories and insights provide unique resources that will foster a stronger sense of self and more fluid access to inner resources. Practical and eminently readable, Soul Mothers' Wisdom offers a path for single mothers—and fathers—to reclaim their identities, and improve the lives of those who depend on them." Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph.D. director, The Milton Erickson Foundation ~ "Bette Freedson has written a winner in Soul Mothers' Wisdom. Her numerous insights and suggestions—gleaned from her own experience as a single mother as well as her years of practicing psychotherapy—are infused with compassion and wisdom. Her goal is to have women not just survive single parenting but instead thrive, and she succeeds wonderfully. Soul Mothers' Wisdom is thus the go-to guidebook for anyone navigating these often-confusing and painful waters." J. Wesley Boyd, M.D., Ph.D. author, Almost Addicted faculty member in psychiatry, Harvard Medical School ~ "For twenty-six years I've had a solo general practice of Osteopathic medicine. This has taught me and continues to teach me that the body's inherent mechanism has the wisdom and potency to heal. In Soul Mothers' Wisdom, Bette Freedson has given a flexible road map to access this soul's sparkle, the spirit of one's truth, the psychic intuitive wisdom and the realization of inner peace. This is a gift that will last forever and is useful to everyone. It transcends so-called self-help books, for it allows one to see the truth that life's friction gives us direction and is the centripetal force that keeps us on the spiral path." Tim Kingsbury, D.O. Kittery, ME ~ "Bette Freedson has written an enormously useful book on single parenting. As an expert clinician, she has illustrated her suggestions about single parenting with real life clinical cases. But most important, she describes her own experiences from shock and despair through adaptation after successful adaptation. This book gives advice and hope to so many overwhelmed parents traveling the same path. A must read!" Jack Weltner, M.D. child & family therapist international lecturer on family therapy author, "A Structural Approach to the Single Parent Family" ~ "As an educator, I particularly found the parenting advice on dealing with stress, building self esteem, and handling misbehavior to be on target and helpful. Single mothers will find this inspirational book to be a valuable resource." Rich Weinfeld director, Weinfeld Education Group LLC author, Smart Kids with Learning Difficulties, Helping Boys Succeed in School, School Success for Kids with High Functioning Autism, & Special Needs Advocacy Resource Book
