The Absent Father Effect on Daughters: Father Desire, Father Wounds, with Susan E. Schwartz
The absent father effect is a love story, but an unrequited one. Harm is done due to the presence of his absence, affecting a daughter—and the father–in body, mind, and soul. For many reasons, the father is an essential aspect of the psyche and significant for the daughter’s psychological and physical life expressed personally and culturally. Topics of the psyche affected by the absent father include the negative father complex, puella archetype and examining the undated concept of the animus. Paradoxically, focusing on the shadow and bleaker side of the daughter/father relationship sheds light on the lack, symptoms, treatment to find repair and hope.
