This is a rich, thought-provoking analysis of fatherhood and its evolution from historical, psychological, and cultural perspectives. An experienced Jungian analyst and thinker, Luigi Zoia has written a book rich in theoretical insights and clinical vignettes from the practice of analytical psychology. The author presents the role of the father as pivotal in the emergence and development of culture and shows how this role undergoes change throughout the history of Western civilization. A brilliant analysis of the images of Hector, Odysseus, and Aeneas helps us to see clearly the deep roots that nourish our conceptions of fatherhood and to discover the paradoxical expectations that children have of their fathers. He analyzes the contemporary crisis of the institution of fatherhood. In an era of intense rethinking of gender stereotypes, Zoya's book answers our pressing questions. The book is relevant not only for Jungian analysts, but also for specialists from many disciplines, such as anthropologists, sociologists, and psychologists of various disciplines, and will also be of interest to a wide range of readers.
