About this event

What is an Absent Father in the Current Era: Emotionally, Physically and Culturally? Workshop with Susan Schwartz

Father absence is a presence to be filled. First one feels the absence, then despair, depression, anxiety and loss from the absence. From this one can become self-aware and conscious according to the concepts of Jungian analytical psychology. However, it means feeling and addressing what a father represents personally and the effects psychologically. The issue is how to recognize what father means beyond the traditional role. It leaves us the possibility and potential to fill internally and culturally the loss from narrow definitions needing expansion. Our world evolves from the absence of fathers to their presence we face the questions how does this look and why is father absence relevant today?
