About this listen

Strategies for overcoming a damaged father/daughter relationship

Problems between fathers and daughters can damage a young girl's identity, convince her she's unloveable or without worth, and send her into unhealthy adult relationships. This groundbreaking book includes in-depth stories and case histories of a broad spectrum of women over 25 who have recovered and flourished in their professional and personal lives despite the lack of a father's recognition and affection. While the legacy of pain that these fathers leave is deep, there is much that can be done to alleviate and even conquer it. Using these women's stories as well as her insights from her private practice, the author outlines basic strategies to overcome the void left by an abusive, absent, alcoholic, mentally ill, irresponsible, selfish, or unloving father.

  • Written by Sarah Simms Rosenthal who has a thriving practice in New York City
  • Reveals how to understand the truth about your childhood
  • Includes strategies for discovering and analyzing past adult relationship mistakes—both personal and professional
  • Offers successful techniques for establishing new patterns of behavior

The women whose stories are told in The Unavailable Father have learned to recognize and change the patterns instigated by their dysfunctional fathers and have moved forward, fulfilled.

Just ignore this book it's terrible

It's not even the fact they're father's they are just bad men. First, gay people exist and people who don't want to be in relationships at all so NO people aren't all incestuous and select partners like their father. That idea just comes from pop psychology and it's not scientific. Its definitely bad to have neglectful parents but I'm glad to have siblings. I'm going to keep looking for something to help me. This book was awful and I don't recommend it

Not helpful at all

Too many stories and not enough strategies to heal yourself from the past and explanation’s about why you attract men like your father and how you can stop it
