    Susan E. Schwartz, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist, presented workshops and lectures in numerous countries. Susan has published articles in several journals and contributed chapters to books on Jung’s analytical psychology. Her book, published by Routledge in 2020, is entitled: The Absent Father Effect on Daughters, Father Desire, Father Wounds.

The ‘as-if’ person faces a conundrum to hide or expose the truth of who they are. Feelings of loss, curtailment, and alienation are prevalent yet concealed with glitzy ego, persona/imposter images. Intimacy and emotional presence are difficult. Those living ‘as-if’ are estranged from their true selves, hiding the shadow at the cost of their desires. There is a haunting sense of a lack of authenticity. Existence is singular. Very possibly we know these struggles as they are part of us.
