Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know... New Age.
It has good dream interpretations focusing on female archetypes. Actually, the archetypes are pretty good to think about. It can put positive spin on states of being that may intimidate us.
Chapters:
Meeting the Madwoman
Mad mothers, Mad daughters
The Caged Bird
The Muse
The Rejected Lover
The Bag Lady *my personal fear
The Recluse
The Revolutionary
The Visionary
Through the Madness
I don't know... I am pretty new to archetypes, but since we clearly end up labeling others, and labeling ourselves, it seems good to ponder them.

The author covers MANY bases of types of father - daughter relationships and all seem to end negatively. Whether your father was good to you, bad to you or non-existent, it's all negative and the father has always done wrong. Even to the point that he causes the mother to affect you negatively. One of the basic themes of the book is that the father can never do anything right. And even if what he's done has caused you to become stronger and more successful it's still negative and the father was in the wrong.
The most irritating and unreadable portions of this book are the countless examples of the author taking famous fairy tales and mythology stories and twisting them so that they tell tales of female repression by men. She uses these stories in a "presenting evidence to prove her point" sort of way. She chooses stories that are easily twisted in this way and later complains that there are no stories like these of courageous/powerful/independent women. Which anyone who studies these things (men & women alike) can tell you that there are many such tales.
Lastly, the absolute worst part of this book (at least for me) is that no healing for the reader ever takes place. And apparently none takes place for the author through writing the book either as she describes in the chapter immediately following the "healing" chapter. This book was just a big let down on all aspects. I do not recommend this book to anyone, least of all someone who is in need of healing from a father - daughter relationship.… (mais)
