Do we need fathers apart from the biology?
It is widely acknowledged that children need structure, security,
stability and attachment to develop and flourish. And issues such as
high divorce rates, new family structures, increased mobility, women's
liberation and contraception are very common in society. This book sets
out to explore what has happened to men and to fathers during all these
changes and transitions. Judith Trowell and Alicia Etchegoyen, along with an array of renowned
contributors, consider a variety of topics, including:
The role of the father at different stages of children's development.
The missing father.
Loss of a father.
Grandfathers.
It is argued that the father is important, nor only to support the main
carer (usually the mother), but also to provide a caring, thinking,
comfortable, confident presence.
