14.99 €
Psychologists and teachers, moms and dads, as well as children who have already become adults, this book is for you! You will learn about the importance of the father figure for the child, the impact of contact with dad on all areas of life and self-image, and why he is so important in the life of every person.
- How does the father influence the development of the child and his adult life?
- What functions does he fulfill and how do they differ from maternal ones?
- What to do if you have no or insufficient positive experience with your own father?
- Is it possible to fill this gap and how will it change your life?
- How to be a good dad for your children?
The book by psychologists Julia Zotova and Maria Letucheva is devoted to answering these questions. This is the second - supplemented and revised - edition of the bestseller "It's All About Dad". The authors expanded the content with a detailed description of paternal functions, and also revised the section on the influence of the father on male scenarios. There is now a chapter with examples of positive scripts in relationships.
The book contains many practical recommendations and examples of psychotherapeutic work with the paternal figure, which will be useful for practitioners and students studying to become psychologists, as well as for anyone who wants to find answers to questions concerning the role of the father in a man's life:
- therapeutic techniques and strategies in working with the father figure to provide more effective psychological help;
- tools to help pinpoint when it's the dad;
- ways to help people who have problems in their relationship with their father.
The materials and exercises offered by the authors help readers get in touch with the image of their own father, fill themselves with resources from this figure, accept his strengths and weaknesses, reconcile with him internally, and ultimately feel more whole and happy. Even those who have grown up without a dad begin to feel his meaningful presence in their lives, or at least are empowered to work with this long-neglected topic in their own personal therapy. The book will be of interest to anyone for whom the topic of relationships with their father is relevant and emotionally charged. The book is written in language that is accessible to a wide range of readers. But this is not an entertaining read, but a practical guide based on the authors' many years of observations and their discoveries in working with clients. You will get recommendations, with the help of which you can realize something, rethink and even change. The book is hardcover.
