What Should a Wife Want? By Janice S. Lieberman. Ph.D.
I will explore the problematic role of “wife”, even in 2020. I was inspired by Glen Close’s role as wife to a Nobel Prize winner in the film “The Wife” (also a novel by Meg Wolitzer), in which she was overlooked, patronized, having to play second fiddle to her most difficult husband. In her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, Close spoke of the denigrated position her own mother took and that the film probably took so long to make because of the title!
Today’s dilemma: the wife who does not play second fiddle to her husband is still regarded by some as castrating. The wife, even if a successful breadwinner, is still mostly the caretaker: of children, both sets of aging parents, of the home, and especially, the husband. If not, she is not a “good wife”. I am still seeing in therapy several young women who are about to enter marriages knowing that they will be forever financially dependent on their husbands and already have abdicated any power in decision making.
Single Mothers by Choice; Challenging Psychoanalysts’ Prejudices By Margarita Cereijido, Ph.D.
In the 1980s, I was concerned that single motherhood represented a narcissistic project, and that the resulting children would have difficulties separating. I conducted a study exploring those mothers’ fantasies of what the children and their relationship with their single mothers would be like. Today, I no longer think that becoming a single mother is a narcissistic project. Furthermore, I recently interviewed some of those children. They are individuals living life the way Freud described it: loving and working. I discus my work with these women in the 1980s and compare it to my current work with single women who are considering motherhood today. The evolution of my theoretical understanding and prejudices are, therefore, part of my study.
