Bringing together the views of professionals in psychology, social work, education, nursing and other fields, this work describes the changing roles of men as husbands and fathers. Its intention is to clarify how these changes are influencing today's American family as well as men's personal lives. There is an examination of ongoing research and intervention programmes designed to follow the father's influence and needs in traditional and non-traditional settings - as single-parents, step-fathers, in minority households, and gay households. The influence of early or late timing in becoming a father is examined, together with how men cope with fathering, and the effects men have on their children's development and on their marriages as they take a more active role as parents. An entire section is devoted to the increasing awareness of mental health professionals to changing family structures and the development of methods designed to help fathers adjust to change, including educational programmes for new fathers and clinical work with divorced and widowed fathers.
