This text brings together essays in honour of Andre Green to develop the theme of his most famous paper of the same title. The concept of the "dead mother" refers to the process of mourning that takes place in the child following maternal depression, when the child experiences the loss of love. The contributors, drawn from different professional backgrounds, reflect on this concept and how it contributes to other psychic syndromes. The book should be of interest to those pursuing psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic approaches to grief, loss and depression.

"Readers will find this a valuable book - for the lively dialogue between Green and Kohon, its return to Green's major paper 'The dead mother', for the individual authors' impressive responses to it, and for the glimpse of the walls in the present psychoanalytic scene, which Green has both run up against and surmounted."- Edna O'Shaughnessy, The International Journal of Psychoanalysis, 82 (3), 2001, "Readers will find this a valuable book - for the lively dialogue between Green and Kohon, its return to Green's major paper 'The dead mother', for the individual authors' impressive responses to it, and for the glimpse of the walls in the present psychoanalytic scene, which Green has both run up against and surmounted."- Edna O'Shaughnessy, The International Journal of Psychoanalysis, 82 (3), 2001
