The Mom Factor: Dealing With the Mother You Had, Didn't Have, or Still Contend With

The authors identify six types of moms--the "Phantom Mom", the "China Doll Mom", the "You're My Trophy Mom", the "Controlling Mom", the "Forever Mom", and the "American Express Mom"--to show how the kind of mothering one receives and how one responds to that mothering profoundly affects an individual's ability to relate to his/her spouse, friends, colleagues, and employers.
