In the twenty-first century, with its frenzy and heterogeneity, where the mixture of modernity and post-modernity is not without danger, motherhood cannot escape the impact of social and cultural transformations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePsycho-history, the accumulation and variety of psychoanalytic theories of femininity and motherhood, the contribution of gender studies, cross-disciplinary research, and listening to what our patients have to say--all this has yielded, in the past few decades, much controversial data that challenges orthodox classical thinking on the role and function of women as mothers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMothers in the twenty-first century confront us, both in clinical practice and in theory, with fascinating challenges that, to some extent, subvert the traditional maternal ideal: the motherhood of single women; motherhood in which the mother-child relationship seems minimal (in the case of very busy working mothers); teenage motherhood in which there is no true awareness of the maternal function; motherhood in couples of homosexual women; men who take upon themselves the maternal function (men-mothers); complex motherhood by virtue of the multiple variants which have nowadays become possible thanks to new reproductive techniques; shared motherhood; surrogate motherhood; sublimated motherhood; and perverse motherhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Contributors: H.
