About this title

From the Author:

About this book:
I am a single mother by choice myself, and my son is now in college. I wanted to share all that I had learned as a mom, as the director of the organization "Single Mothers by Choice" since 1981, and as a psychotherapist. I am thrilled to find that the book seems to have been of help to many - it is now in its fifth printing - and recommend it especially to those single women in their thirties who may be wondering if this option is right for them or not. Whichever way you decide to go, congratulations on giving this important decision the time and thought which it deserves.

About the Author:

Jane Mattes, LCSW, BCD, has had her own psychotherapy practice in New York City for over twenty years. For Single Mothers by Choice, Mattes has drawn on her extensive professional counseling experience, her close contact with hundreds of members of the Single Mothers by Choice organization (which she founded in 1981 and still directs), and her personal experience as the single mother of an adult son.
