The Father Archetype

The father archetype is a psychological concept that represents the universal, symbolic image or pattern of the father figure that exists, as proposed by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. It represents the paternal authority, wisdom, guidance, and protective qualities traditionally associated with fathers. It can also embody aspects of discipline, responsibility, and the passing down of values and traditions.

This concept extends beyond biological fatherhood and can be present in various relationships and contexts. For example, It can manifest in individuals who assume the role of a nurturing, guiding, and protective figure, such as mentors, teachers, or community leaders. Another key point to note is that this archetype can vary in its expression across different cultures and contexts.
