| Publisher Description: The Father: Mythology and Changing Roles examines the changing role of the father in today's family and explores the impact of fatherhood on a man's life. Our incomplete mythology assigns earth to women through the earth mother and sky to men through the sky father. The colmans contrast this with mythologies, among them the Egyptian, which allow four, not two. Men then regain their natural link to earth and women to sky and spirit. This is a valuable book. -Robert Bly, Poet Table of Contents Introduction: Images of Parents Archetypes of the Father Father the Creator Earth Father Sky Father Royal Father Dyadic Father Images of the Sky Father through the Life Cycle The Early Father-Child Relationship Idealization Coming of Age: Alienation and Ambivalence Reconciliation The Nontraditional Father Men as Earth Parents In the Beginning Earth Fathering Implications for the CHildren Arthur D.
