The absent father effect is a love story, although unrequited. The presence of his absence affects daughters and fathers, in body, mind, and soul. Being trapped in a transgenerational complex of absence saps energy and depletes personally and collectively. His absence influences the negative father complex, the puella archetype and leads to an undated concept of the animus. Focusing on the shadow side of the daughter/father relationship sheds light on the lack, symptoms, and psychological treatment encompassing the transference and countertransference for repair and hope. The lecture and discussion apply to everyone as fathers and daughters are internalized and symbolic figures appearing in dreams, relationships and the collective psyche.
