Next year is the 20 year anniversary of the publication of Estela Welldon's seminal book 'Mother, Madonna, Whore: The Idealization and Denegration of Motherhood'.
This book had a major impact on the psychoanalytic understanding of female perversion and continues to be quoted as a seminal work. Dr Estela Welldon worked for many years as Consultant Psychiatrist in Psychotherapy at the Portman Clinic, part of The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust.
