This book emerges from work by the author as a researcher and educator over many years on the issues posed by this agenda for child welfare practitioners in a variety of contexts. In locating fathers, fathering and fatherhood within a historical and social landscape, the book addresses issues seldom taken up in practice settings. It explores diversity and complexity in fathering in different disciplines such as psychoanalysis, sociology and psychology and analyses contemporary developments in social policies and welfare practices.The author employs a feminist perspective to highlight the opportunities and dangers in contemporary developments for those wishing to advance gender equity. A key strength of the book is its inter-disciplinary focus. It will be required reading for students, graduate and post-graduate, of social work, social policy, sociology and child and family studies. Academic researchers will also find the book invaluable because of its breadth of scholarship. 606 $aFathers 606 $aFatherhood 615 0$aFathers. 615 0$aFatherhood. 676 $a306.874/2 700 $aFeatherstone$b Brid$0865042 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812881103321 996 $aContemporary fathering$94108864 997 $aUNINA
