Reviving Ophelia (Abridged): Saving the Lives of Adolescent Girls Audiobook

" A must read for anyone with daughters or who work with adolescent girls. "

" In case you forget.......... "

" I read this in college, and I agree. However, as a schoolteacher, I have to support Laura Bush's emphasis on encouraging boys to succeed also. I am for equal yoking. "

" I read this book a long time and looked it over again recently and well...it was kind of...it seemed ot miss the mark in creating the stories of girls as oppoed to case histories that tie up neatly in the end - and that bothers me...but I remember really liking it at the time I read it... "

" read it for class -- boring. "

" I thought this book would share specific ways to help and deal with adolescent girls, for example, how do you deal with an adolescent girl who locks herself in her room and doesn't want to speak to you, etc. This book was mainly filled anecdotes about the experiences of the author's clients. I saw my adolescent experience in the first couple of chapters but that was about it. The last four chapters are what the meat of the book should have been about. It was an interesting read but not what I was really expecting. "

" personally i think she has no idea what she's talking about. "

" Bleh I read this when I was a teenager and it scared me to death. The world she describes was nothing like what I grew up in. But it opened my eyes to what some girls have to endure. I remember that she didn't really give any answers but it has been ten years since I read it. "

" If you have adolescent daughter this book will help you navigate your journey together. "

" Fabulous book - a must read for anyone with daughters or who works with teens! Hard to read at some points, because the stories are heartbreaking - makes you think a lot about the world we live in, how society is structured and what the effects of that on our girls. "

" This was interesting and informative to understand myself as a teenager and the things I still carry... Also to be more compassionate and understanding of the young women I serve and the things that happen to us to make us the way we are. "

" anyone who will or does spend time with young girls should read this. "

" I read this in a college course and one of few books I actually saved from school. If you have a young girl, you should read this! "

" This is an amazing book for any female or for anyone who knows a female! It has been a life changer for me personally. I recommend any mom of girls to definitely read this book. So powerful. "

" um. i read this book the summer before i started junior high 2 days before i got my first period...and it scarred me for life. I went into 8th grade completely terrified that i would be taunted and teased throughout highschool. it was not a good beginning for adolesence... "

" this book will also be near and dear to my heart. It was my introduction to working in a female responsive world. "

" Even though the girls are really young, I think this is such a great book for every mom and girls to read. Love it "

" Excellent book for anyone who has, had, or ever will have daughters. "

" I read this book years ago because I have a daughter and I'm also a teacher. It's written by a psychologist and is a worthwhile and helpful book for parents and teachers. Interesting information. "

" I read this maybe five years ago. I remember parts of it were difficult to read, but it had some really good ideas in it. Probably a good one to re-read in the future when my oldest girl nears her teenage years! "

" I read this book when I was 14 and it was the best book choice for a young girl going through all the ups and down of adolescence. An easy read. "

" Every girl should read this book. Mary Pipher has such an untainted outlook on the effects of today's culture on the lives of women. "

" If you have a girl, read this book. "

" The seminal work in the psychology of adolescent girls. Has spawned many off shoot books that are more pop culture in nature. "

" This was the first psych/women's studies book I ever read. It really left a strong impression on me as I started to seriously think about what influences adolescents' development. I need to re-read this now that I'm no longer an adolescent. "

" Thoughtful and well organized. I can't think of a group that wouldn't do well to read this book. "

" Must-read for all parents of girls and all those who interact with teens. "

" Tried to read this one when I was 13, but didn't get through it. "

" Good Book, especially if you have a daughter. Or thinking about your own childhood as a little girl. Brought stuff up for me. "

" While a bit outdated, a chilling look at pre-teen and teen girls through the eyes of a therapist. What girls today have to deal with in school, home and life in general is horrible and how we deal with these issues as a society will shape our lives. "

" The intro is a great read for any parent with a girl just hitting middle school age. The rest of the book is all based on the author's case studies from her therapy practice, so it gets a little tedious. "

" Had to read this for a class- feel like re-reading it, learned so much about how we internalize things when everyone thinks we are being resilient "

" Documents the difficult time girls have going through adolescence... interesting case studies. "
