«Le mani della madre» is Massimo Recalcati's essay on motherhood, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (187 pages, in Italian).
Recalcati revisits the maternal figure outside clichés, including psychoanalytic ones. Through literary, cinematic, biblical and clinical examples, he shows the lights and shadows of motherhood: there is no maternal instinct, maternal love is ambivalent, and absence can be as decisive as presence.
With the subtitle «Desiderio, fantasmi ed eredità del materno», it belongs to the Serie Bianca collection. Edition published in 2015.
Aimed at readers interested in psychoanalysis, philosophy and studies on motherhood.
