Daughters and Fathers. The Father Figure in a Woman's Life

If we usually have something to say about mothers, we often feel confused regarding the father figure. Absent fathers, authoritarian and aggressive ones, emotionally unavailable, weak, sometimes ghosts and shadows, sometimes beloved dads and daddies. And although reliable and close relationships with a father are quite rare, the father figure is one of the most important in shaping personality.
Psychologist, Doctor of Sciences Evgenia Karlyn explores the influence of a father on a daughter in a broad sense, including the image of society as the Father, God as the super-parent, the symbolic father, and the real father.
The book includes numerous examples from the author's consulting practice: stories of hope and love, disappointment and struggle, loss and search, with the subsequent possible reacquisition of one's parent, sometimes in another person, sometimes in oneself.
The book is addressed to practicing psychologists and psychotherapists working with issues of child-parent relationships, their clients, as well as anyone interested in the theme of the father archetype and relationships with the father.
