Description
A Jungian analyst, Leonard uses dreams, fairy tales, myths, films, literature, and her own experiences to expose the wound of the spirit that both men and women of our culture bear. A father wounded in his own psychological development, she speculates, will not be able to give his daughter the care and guidance she needs. Inheriting this would will in turn impair her ability to express herself professionally, intellectually, sexually, and socially. Leonard shows that understanding the father-daughter wound and working to transform it psychologically can lead to a fruitful, caring relationship between men and women, between fathers and daughters–a relationship that honors both the mutuality and the uniqueness of the sexes.
