title: Having it all: the professional mother's dilemma.
abstract: The notion that professional women can "have it all"--career and children--has been disputed in the current popular literature. A brief review of recent findings presents evidence that many couples successfully manage the dual challenge of work and family. Clinical vignettes from a group of professionals/mothers are presented with suggested "rules" for success. We have come a long way from the days when it was taken for granted (mostly by our grandfathers) that women's place is only in the home.
