      abstract = {In many ways, today is the best time in history to be a  girl: opportunities for a girl's success are as unlimited  as her dreams. Yet societal expectations, cultural trends,  and conflicting messages are creating what psychologist  Stephen Hinshaw calls "the Triple Bind." Girls are now  expected to excel at "girl skills," achieve "boy goals,"  and be models of female perfection, 100 percent of the  time--putting more and more girls at risk for aggression,  eating disorders, depression, and even suicide. Dr. Hinshaw  shows concerned parents how to listen, learn, and help  girls unlock the shackles of the Triple Bind, discussing  key topics, including: how internal conflict can turn  self-expression into self-destruction; how traditionally  feminine qualities like empathy, self-awareness, and verbal  ability can put girls at risk for anxiety, depression, and  other disorders; the oversexualization of girls; and the  reasons girls are channeling pressure into violence.--From  publisher description.},
