IntroductionThe most central mental concept is safety. They feel unsafe, unprotected by their parents and especially their father. Their father is absent or not making contact, not supporting them, or teasing them. As a child they feel that they have to do everything on their own. But they cannot do that, it is too difficult, too strenuous for them to achieve what they want. They want to be held, talked to; they want to know that there is someone for them, to help them and be present. They want to go to the safety of the home.
They fear the world with its dangers. They feel they are not strong enough to withstand it.
