Description
A unique bond
Dr Ann Dally, a practising psychiatrist, provides an in-depth perspective on mothers, based on her experience observing mothers at a personal level.
Her perspective is intended to provide mothers, and new mothers, with a deeper understanding of the forces that may at times seem irrational.
She explores the three stages of motherhood: enclosure, extension and separation and stresses that it is important to understand these stages to be able to identify certain behavioural patterns.
Although there are a variety of other factors, understanding the mother-child relationship does play a significant role.
Included throughout the book are true accounts of Dr Ann Dally’s encounters with mothers and children, as well as excerpts from well-known works from D.H. Lawrence and Philip Roth, who both wrote about their own ‘enclosing’ mothers.
Going beyond the three stages of mothering, Dr Ann Dally covers the three types of environment that tie in with the stages of mothering.
This important analysis provides a further understanding of how the mother’s behaviour, along with the environment that surrounds the child, impacts a child’s future.
Mothers: Their Power and Influence sheds light on a variety of perspectives and really explores the dynamics and behaviours that make up mother/child relationships.

Description
Dr. Ann Dally’s desire to become a doctor started at an early age … inspired by the books she read as a young child.
Always getting into trouble for being naughty at school, her ambitions almost fell to the side. Yet, determined and goal-oriented, Dr. Dally pushed on. Her peers included Margaret Thatcher, a normal, yet ambitious young girl who went on to become prime minister.
Dr. Dally’s trained at St Thomas’s Hospital and relives the stories from her years as a junior doctor there. Despite being married with young children, she pushed hard to further her career, the sleepless nights just part of the parcel. In 1979, Dr. Dally became a Harley Street psychiatrist. Having identified a gap, she focused on seeing and helping long-term heroin addicts who the NHS were not able to support effectively due to policy changes.
Through her patients, Dr. Dally became more confident in her beliefs. Outright criticism of the new policies meant making enemies of people in power. Three times she was ‘tried’ by the General Medical Council. It was clear that the GMC had the power to discredit any doctor. It was a fight Dr. Dally was more than determined to win. Her patients were her priority … and they were suffering, if not dying, with the introduction of the new policies.

Description
Something dreadful is happening to women.
Not directly to all women but to a sufficient number to affect nearly all women and indeed society as a whole.
This dreadful thing — for it is to be dreaded — is self-destructiveness, that strange process by which humans sometimes damage or destroy themselves in body, mind or spirit.
So writes Dr Ann Dally — doctor, psychiatrist and author.
In The Morbid Streak she showed how self-destructiveness distorts our lives and poisons our relationships.
Here, she painfully and compassionately explores a paradox.
Women are beginning to throw off the bonds of the last centuries, but as they emerge, the very freedoms and open choices they achieve thrust them brutally into underachievement, tranquillizer-addiction, neurosis, breakdown and even suicide.
And in our modern society, self-destruction in these forms equals failure.
So women’s personalities and the pressures of the new society conspire to cheat women of their ambitions, their self-esteem and their emotions.
Why Women Fail is a fascinating study that does not only analyse the tragedy of women's constriction in society, but also shows how we can all work to restructure the values of society and enable women to achieve self-fulfilment.
