První muž, který mě zradil, byl můj otec – Jandová Lucie (2020)

Father wounds are the theme of another book by the author duo Lucie Jandová and Dana Kaplanová. Following the successful bestseller 'Dark Mothers and Their Daughters,' they come out with a book that delves into the troubling relationships between daughters and fathers. The impact of dysfunctional bonds, whether due to the father being absent from the family, abandoning it, or failing to fulfill the paternal role, can be devastating. The archetype of the first man in a woman's life influences her romantic relationships. There is no evidence that every woman with relationship problems has experienced a wound from her father. But those who have tend to have issues in their relationships. This creates the impression of a necessary process, as noted in the book. However, the authors do not settle for merely pointing out the bleakness of such a state; they seek solutions. They reflect on fatherhood itself and the historical and social contexts that have shaped it. They conclude that healthy masculine strength is lacking in society and that fatherhood needs to be restored to its importance. The book features opinions from experts and psychologists and is supplemented with authentic stories from women who have chosen to speak publicly about their relationships with their fathers and partners.
