Publisher's Summary

Why are more American adolescent girls prey to depression, eating disorders, addictions, and suicide attempts than ever before? According to Dr. Mary Pipher, a clinical psychologist who has treated girls for more than 20 years, we live in a look-obsessed, media saturated, "girl-poisoning" culture. Despite the advances of feminism, escalating levels of sexism and violence - from undervalued intelligence to sexual harassment in elementary school - cause girls to stifle their creative spirit an natural impulses, which, ultimately, destroys their self-esteem. Yet girls often blame themselves or their families for this "problem with no name" instead of looking at the world around them as the culprit.

In this insightful production of Reviving Ophelia, for the first time listeners will hear the personal and painfully honest voices of girls on the front lines of adolescence. By laying bare their harsh day-to-day reality, Reviving Ophelia sounds an alarm identifying these problems, and issues a call to arms to deal with them. And with compassion, Dr. Pipher offers parents compassion, strength, and realistic strategies with which to revive these present-day Ophelias' lost sense of self.

    "Good but not great"
    If you could sum up Reviving Ophelia in three words, what would they be?

    Definitely a worthwhile read for anyone with a teen or pre-teen daughter. Just a little disappointed.

    Story
    "Great stories for all parents to read!"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Great stories of issues girls have but could apply to boys too. A couple of areas left out from the book which I missed having but all in all it was great!


    What about Mary Pipher Ph.D.’s performance did you like?

    I thought Mary did a great job!


    What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

    Mary's version of the developmental cycles and the conflicts they encounter within each cycle.


    Any additional comments?

    Great at and for any age - pre-teen to full blown young adults!
