Absent Father Effect on Daughters – Susan Schwartz

From the perspective of Jungian analytical psychology the archetype of father is perceived through a variety of symbols and images internalized from the family and culture reflective of each era. When father is absent to himself, the daughter attempts to enliven him but deadens herself. This comes out in poor self-connection, body issues, low self-esteem and dissatisfying relationships. The emotional and/or physical absence becomes internalized for the daughter as emptiness. Jungian analytical psychology, focusing on search for the complete self, assists in rebalancing the personality through the unconscious coming to consciousness.
