Emotional Female Trauma

The author explores the causes and consequences of emotional trauma based on her own experience and the experiences of other women, as well as an analysis of dreams, myths, fairy tales, films, and works of well-known writers from the perspective of "Jungian diagnostics". Linda Leonard presents her symbolic classification of manifestations of emotional trauma based on polarities: puella ("eternal girl") and businesswoman ("amazon in armor"), considering possible variations depending on the nature of the traumatic father-daughter relationship.

Paths and methods of healing are proposed, which is important because the relationship with the father later affects the woman's social success, the development of her creative abilities, as well as the manifestation of healthy sexuality and the formation of mature relationships with men. The book will be useful not only to psychologists of various schools and directions, but also to anyone interested in parent-child relationships.
