What is the significance of the Father in psychoanalysis today?
This book constructs a much needed framework to allow
psychoanalysts to consider the difficulties of a generation without
a solid anchor in the Father. The Dead Father: A Psychoanalytic
Inquiry provides a necessary addition to decades of work on the
role of the mother in development. The editors bring together world
renowned scholars to discuss current observations in their fields,
in terms of the Father's changing but essential functions, both in
the lives of the individual and collective. Divided into four
parts, chapters focus on: The Lost Father The Father Embodied The
Father in Theory Father Culture. Exploring the role of the father
in individual psychology, everyday interpersonal and social
experience and cultural phenomena writ large, this book will be
essential reading for psychoanalysts, as well as psychologists,
social workers and scholars in the humanities.
