Daughters of their fathers: how to break the binding ties | Maureen Murdoch

The most complex and insufficiently studied relationship of a woman is connected with her father. When the bond between them is very strong, it is called "daddy's daughter". This mellifluous name from childhood has its price for an adult "daughter of her father". In order to preserve his approval, protection and love, she often moves away from her mother and rejects her feminine essence. Identifying exclusively with her father, her emancipation as a woman is delayed in childhood.

Using myths, fairy tales, stories of real people and Jungian psychology, the author of the bestseller The Journey of the Heroine Maureen Murdock explores in this book the features of the relationship between the "daughter of her father" and her father, the advantages and disadvantages of such relationships, as well as their impact on the relationship between daughter and mother. In particular, an in-depth analysis of such works as "Beauty and the Beast", "Donkey Skin", "The Wizard of Oz", "King Lear" and "The Girl without Hands" will help her father's daughter unravel the ties that bind her to her father and regain her femininity, in which there is a huge potential.

This book will be useful not only for women, but also for fathers — both those who already have daughters, and for future fathers, for whom recommendations based on the analysis of personal and professional experience are offered.
