Using vivid case narratives, the book takes a nuanced look at the emotional complexities of their mentorships-the intense passions and hopes that get stirred up in these professional, yet intimate connections as well as the turmoil created by disappointment, betrayal, competition, and the mere readiness to move on and separate from these relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFraming the psychodynamics of mentorship dialectically, the book unpacks the relational struggles in mentorship to trace how these emerge from strong emotional bonds.

Pushing at the boundaries of research on the topic, \u003ci\u003eAmbivalence in Mentorship \u003c\/i\u003elocates this relationship at the crosshairs of authority and love-highlighting the interplay of intrapsychic, interpersonal, cultural, and historical forces that drive this relationship to be at once vital and risky.
