Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Lives of Adolescent Girls Audiobook (Free)

What makes more American adolescent ladies prey to depression, taking in disorders, addictions, and suicide efforts than ever before? Regarding to Dr. Mary Pipher, a clinical psychologist who has treated girls for more than twenty years, we live in a look-obsessed, media-saturated, “girl-poisoning” lifestyle. Despite the advances of feminism, escalating levels of sexism and violence–from undervalued cleverness to intimate harassment in primary school–cause ladies to stifle their creative spirit and organic impulses, which, ultimately, destroys their self-esteem. Yet ladies frequently blame themselves or their families for this “problem without name” instead of looking at the globe around them.

Here, for the first time, are women’ unmuted voices from leading lines of adolescence, personal and painfully honest. By laying uncovered their severe day-to-day truth, Reviving Ophelia problems a contact to arms and will be offering parents compassion, strength, and strategies with which to regenerate these Ophelias’ lost sense of self.
