Call on men's hidden strengths to help them become responsible
fathers in even the most challenging circumstances!Clinical and
Educational Interventions with Fathers gives you fresh approaches
for effective interventions with fathers. Whether by calling on
their faith to help them deal with the complexities of fatherhood
or offering high-tech interventions on the Internet, these
techniques help men find their strengths, maintain their
masculinity, and learn to guide, nurture, and discipline with love
and responsibility. Instead of thinking of fathers as deficient,
the book emphasizes finding fathers'strengths and potentials for
growth. It also respects the diversity of parenting styles among
fathers from various ethnic, racial, and class backgrounds.No man
wants to be a bad father. Nevertheless, many men in our culture do
not know how to care for the children they beget. Trapped by
stereotypes of masculine behavior and deprived of positive role
models, they find themselves trying to do the challenging work of
fatherhood without the necessary resources, information, or
support.Clinical and Educational Interventions with Fathers offers
positive approaches to helping men become responsible fathers,
including: designing special techniques and programs to help
fathers in prison and other challenging circumstances helping
fathers manage anger developing therapeutic support groups for
African-American men offering Web-based support for fathers
training staff to recognize and respond to fathers'unique needs
finding legal tools to support fathers'rights Reaching fathers has
become an ever more urgent priority for practitioners as family
structure and family life change. Traditional social-service
programs for mothers tend not to work well with men's very
different needs and attitudes. Yet very little has been published
on successful interventions with fathers. Clinical and Educational
Interventions with Fathers fills that gap and suggests promising
new directions for further research in this field. By offering
positive, tested ways to help men become responsible fathers, this
volume will help you improve their lives and the lives of their
sons and daughters.
