| Description: |
A distinguished group of contributors examine the contemporary role of the father. Essays include Fathers: History and Psychoanalysis; The Experience of Becoming and Being a New Father; Celluloid Fathers: The Depiction of Paternal Function in Some Recent Movies; and What Is the Father to the Child? |
| Synopsis: |
"This is a day and age of diminished presence of the nuclear family, a high incidence of divorce, multiple diverse family arrangements, an increase in single-parent families, and an abundance of childhood distress. Absent fathers are ubiquitous. It has become urgent, demanding, pressing that we understand the father's contribution and what is lost in his absence. It requires our immediate and most serious attention." -Ruth M.S. Fischer |
