RECLAIMING FATHER
The Search for Wholeness in Men, Women and Children
ISBN 0954701208
What impact does a father have on the
psychological development of his child? How does a man's
father influence how he himself becomes a father? How can
our experience of being fathered influence how we relate
to an intimate partner?
An engaging and passionate book, RECLAIMING FATHER answers
these questions and more. In a time of increasing divorce
rates, when menís traditional roles are being questioned
and a growing number of children are raised without
fathers, RECLAIMING FATHER examines his role in early
life.
In her skillful and sensitive
exploration of birth, early childhood and family relations
as well as the inner and outer dynamics of adult love
relationships, Benig Mauger draws on her work as a Jungian
psychotherapist to outline the impact of the father on the
psyche. Using her background as a birth teacher, she
suggests ways in which fathers can support their partners
in childbirth as well as fulfill their essential roles in
the early life of their children. Through riveting
life/love stories, RECLAIMING FATHER explores the inner
landscape of love and relationships and exposes the need
to reclaim father in order to recover a sense of inner
wholeness.

"Reclaiming Father, in addition to answering the question What does a father
do? in a way that calls upon wisdoms that we had allowed ourselves to
forget, also charts the nature of the damage we have wrought in our homes,
intimate relationships and, by implication, societies. Anyone claiming the
right to speak about children and family life in the modern context who has
not read this book is most likely ignorant of much that is important in
these matters". John Waters, Irish Times
