BROOKLINE, MA - Jean Baker Miller, MD, noted feminist, psychoanalyst, and
social activist died at her Brookline, Massachusetts home July 29, 2006
after a 13-year struggle with emphysema and post-polio effects. Her 1976
groundbreaking book, Toward a New Psychology of Women, traced the
connection between women's mental health and sociopolitical forces. Dr.
Miller maintained that women's desire to connect with others and their
emotional accessibility were essential strengths, not weaknesses as they
were traditionally regarded.

...

Toward a New Psychology of Women, a bestseller and classic in the fields
of psychology and women's studies, was translated in over 20 languages and
distributed around the world. Dr. Miller also co-authored The Healing
Connection: How Women Form Relationships in Therapy and in Life and
Women's Growth in Connection; she edited Psychoanalysis and Women, and
authored and contributed to numerous articles on depression, dreams, and
the psychology of women.
