Naomi Stadlen obituary

Naomi Stadlen, a psychotherapist and author, dedicated her work to understanding the communication between mothers and their babies. Her first book, "What Mothers Do, Especially When It Looks Like Nothing," published in 2004, became a bestseller and was widely acclaimed as a valuable resource for mothers. The book was a direct response to a conversation Stadlen had at the Freud Museum, where she had initially described her role as a stay-at-home mother as "nothing." This experience led Stadlen to reflect deeply on the importance of the often-overlooked work of motherhood, and she went on to write extensively on the topic, providing a voice for the experiences of mothers and the vital role they play in their children's development.
