Who is Laura Gutman?

This smiling woman is a warrior of motherhood and the universe of babies. A Argentine psychopedagogue, formed with the renowned French psychoanalyst Françoise Dolto andexpert in family, parenting and female psychology in the puerperium, that with its center, its books, conferences and courses for mothers and professionals, it is putting the current concepts of maternity in check.

Have three books published in Spain by RBA:

  1. Motherhood and the encounter with the shadow itself,
  2. Paurperios and other explorations of the feminine soul
  3. Parenting, invisible violence and addictions

He collaborates in the journals Mente Sana, Única, Lecturas, Viure en familia y Crianza Natural.

With a direct and blunt style It is currently one of the firmer voices of natural upbringing, with attachment and respectful of the needs of babies.

Personally I read the first of his books at a time of personal crisis after the birth of my son and for me it was a revelation, a powerful light that helped me to perfectly understand my feelings, to get ahead and especially to take off the band of many false concepts of the official discourse of motherhood.

I only have words of appreciation and thanks. But to some friends of mine his books they have been disturbed. Question ourselves and face our shadow It can be painful.

Radical for some, great wise for others, I assure you that his work does not leave you indifferent.

Judge for yourselves. I leave you with several of his thoughts from two interviews that I attached below:

In order to change the world, you have to raise well from the cradle

"The current family organization is the worst system for raising children. In cities, fathers and mothers make water between four walls "

"The helplessness of young children becomes socially visible, A few years later, in the age of adolescence. To raise a baby well without frustration, you have to understand deeply the dark aspects of motherhood, which are exactly the opposite of what magazines tell us"

"Leaving a baby crying all night equals his spiritual death. And then, how can we not go out violent? Few parents physically kill their children, but those who abandon them are the majority. "
