This work is focused on the thought that the nature of communication between a father and his daughter influences how that woman will perceive her identity. It is known that a person's perception of his own identity affects his attitude. A person who has a positive perception of identity can realize himself by reaching his reality, while it is thought that a person with a negative and non-constructive perception of identity will experience difficulties in reaching his reality. The objective of (...) this thesis is to review father-daughter communication and attain its effects on how a woman perceives her identity. Father-daughter communication will be discussed based on the Existential Communication concept of the existential philosopher Karl Jaspers, who puts communication at the core of his philosophy. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with seven female participants who were identified by applying the snowball sampling recruitment technique. During the interviews, the participants were asked questions about their communication with their father. Records of the interviews were analyzed and resolved with the thick description method. The participant data obtained from the in-depth interviews was reviewed in the context of the Existential Communication concept and the findings include results that support the hypothesis of this master thesis work.
