From the Publisher
Dr. Drew's approach to the complex, often baffling phenomenon of the father-wound is practical, easy to understand, and made meaningful through many simple yet powerful exercises proven to raise consciousness, to destroy the mythology that often perpetuates the negativity, and to create a mental and emotional environment that supplies comfort, stimulates a reversal of attitude (without ever losing sight of the seriousness of the issue), and encourages rapid personal progress and significant emotional growth in a powerful progression that ultimately leads to a spiritual transformation that she postulates in the new Section Nine of the expanded second edition of her popular book.
From Library Journal
Clinical psychologist Drew offers a seven-step program directed at men and women whose fathers were absent, abusive, overly judgmental, or emotionally withdrawn. Taking examples from her life and the experiences of her clients, Drew uses techniques familiar to those acquainted with the recovery movement (e.g., visualization, writing, and drawing with the nondominant hand) to guide the reader in assessing and understanding the father's role. She discusses letting go of anger, laying the foundation for healing, and building healthy future relationships. A final chapter includes advice for friends and partners. The book is delightfully illustrated and easy to read, although a section examining cultural differences in fathering would have given the book wider appeal. Recommended for public libraries.
