Fathers and developmental psychopathology

This book was written in an effort to help broaden the parental focus of the contemporary discourse on developmental psychopathology. To that end, it provides a comprehensive review of the current theory, research, and clinical issues related to the role of fathers in developmental psychopathology [in children], and takes a multidisciplinary approach, answering crucial questions. This book is a resource for clinical psychologists—especially clinical child psychologists and specialists in developmental, abnormal, and family psychology . . . and ultimately all mental health practitioners who may be called upon to treat psychologically disturbed children.
