Our mental life and sense of self are profoundly influenced by our relationships with primary caregivers, particularly our mothers. The 'dead mother complex,' introduced by André Green, addresses the psychological impact of having an emotionally unavailable mother. This absence can lead to difficulties in forming relationships and emotional engagement. Therapy can facilitate the healing of unresolved grief related to maternal absence, fostering self-awareness and emotional growth. Understanding this complex aids in recognizing the patterns that shape our relational dynamics and emotional depth.
