The wounded woman

Linda Schierse Leonard First published 1982

About this book

This book is a key to understanding the father-daughter relationship. Using examples from her own life and those of her clients, the author, a Jungian analyst, exposes the wound of the spirit that both men and women of our culture bear, a wound that is grounded in a poor relationship between the masculine and feminine principles. It shows that by understanding the father-daughter wound and working to transform it psychologically, it is possible to acheve a fruitful, caring relationship between men and women, between fathers and daughters.
