The first edition of Toward a New Psychology of Women, the book that launched Jean Baker Miller's career and serves as a keystone of JBMTI’s work, was published in 1976. Since then the book has sold over 200,000 copies, been translated into 20 languages, and been published in 12 countries. A second edition with a new forward by Jean Baker Miller was published in 1987. Both editions combined have been cited in more than 3,000 books, journal articles, and dissertations.
Most notable of these citations are landmark books In a Different Voice: Psychological Theory and Women’s Development by Carol Gilligan, Women’s Ways of Knowing: The Development of Self, Voice, and Mind by Mary Belenky, and Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls by Rachel Simmons. Additional acclaimed authors and academics who have cited the book are Lyn Mikel Brown, Nancy Chodorow, Riane Eisler, Judith Herman, Jean Kilbourne, Harriet Lerner, and William Pollock.
Over the decades, countless women told Jean either in person or writing, “Your book changed my life.” Thanks to the lasting impact and reach of her work, such change continues today. |

Relational-Cultural Theory represents the most significant shift in psychodynamic thinking since Freud, moving us toward a more accurate, compassionate and multi-layered understanding of women and human relationships. In shifting the paradigm of psychology from separation to connection, these pioneers celebrate the relational strengths of women and give us a transforming vision of the power of connection to foster personal and social change. Revolutionary and practical, RCT has made a profound difference in theory building and clinical work.
- Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., author of The Dance of Anger and Women and Therapy
