Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines the lessons taught by fathers in Romania from a Jungian perspective and examines how these lessons—whether positive or negative—influence personal development in a changing social context. Through a phenomenological-hermeneutic analysis of responses from 589 participants, the study addresses paternal influences and reflects on how lessons of resilience, ambition, and self-reliance shaped by the communist regime leave lasting emotional and psychological impacts. While these teachings were often aimed at preparing children for the hardships of life, they also led to stress, low self-esteem and anxiety. The study emphasizes the role of parents and educators in promoting psychological growth and highlights the delicate balance between promoting resilience and maintaining mental well-being. The Romanian context offers insights that resonate globally and underscore the profound influence of paternal lessons on personal and cultural development.
