Men in Families: When Do They Get involved? What Difference Does It Make?: Penn State University Family Issues Symposia Series
Editat de Alan Booth, Ann C. Crouteren Limba Engleză Hardback – 1998
This is the only book that deals with men's involvement in families in a comprehensive way. Although several books focus on fathers alone or on a broader family perspective, this is the first book that deals with a variety of family roles on an interdisciplinary basis. Although most of the writers are psychologists or sociologists, there are key figures in history and anthropology who also make important contributions. As such, this volume will be useful to scholars, students, policy specialists, and family program administrators.
