Book Description
This in-depth and informative study of fathering at risk emphasizes the importance of a father’s presence in a child’s life, and then concentrates on what society can do to reverse the dangerous trend toward absentee fathers. Complete with case studies, discussion questions at the end of each chapter, an appendix of father’s organizations and websites, plus numerous references for further reading, this thoroughly researched and forward-looking discussion makes an excellent contribution to addressing a serious social problem.
