Philosophical Reflections on Mothering in Trauma is about the lived experience of mothering children who have been seriously harmed by others. Using an interdisciplinary approach that employs a feminist phenomenology and an emphasis on narrative theory, this ground-breaking work gives voice to experiences of trauma, and of mothering, not ordinarily heard in philosophical discourses.
