Father Daughter relationship
“The father-daughter bond is a prototype for male-female relationships for the daughter and offers positive mental health and self-esteem to the father,” says Frederick B. Phillips, Ph.D., founder of the Progressive Life Center in Washington, D.C., which offers an array of psychological services. “Within the framework of this relationship, the daughter has the opportunity to develop here womanliness, as contrasted with male energy. She can test out her female energy in a safe, nonsexual relationship. Fathers can realize stronger and truer self-esteem by receiving pure love, not to be confused with sexuality.”
