Usually this passes quite quickly, however for more than 1 in 10 women, this distressing experience can be more prolonged. This practical self-help book based on Compassion Focused Therapy will help women to recognise some of the symptoms and, where appropriate, to normalise them, thereby alleviating their distress.

Gestatten: Evelyn Weigert, 36 Jahre alt, Mama zweier kleiner Töchter – und mindestens einmal täglich am Rande des Wahnsinns. Bei aller Liebe zu ihren Kindern: Mama sein ist nicht immer easy. Spätestens dann, wenn man nach einem stressigen Arbeitstag im Slalom durch die heimische Legolandschaft stakst, ununterbrochen begleitet vom immer gleichen Kinderlied, fragt sie sich: Wie zum Teufel soll man das eigentlich alles schaffen? Im typisch direkten Evelyn-Ton zeigt sie das wahre Leben der Eltern, mit all seinen Up's and Down's.

Between the 1870s and 1930s, American social reformers, working closely with the US government, transformed sexual vice into an international political and humanitarian concern. As these activists worked to eradicate prostitution and trafficking, they promoted sexual self-control for both men and women as a cornerstone of civilization and a basis of American exceptionalism. Empire of Purity traces the history of these efforts, showing how the policing and penalization of sexuality was used to justify American interventions around the world.
