Father Time

The Social Clock and the Timing of Fatherhood

Beschreibung

Men's biological clocks may not be ticking loudly, but what about the social clock? Are there benefits to being in-step with social norms for the timing of parenthood? In a clear and accessible style, this book examines the advantages and disadvantages of early, on-time, and delayed first fatherhood. The book includes a foreword by Ross D. Parke.

Rezensionen

"Wendy Goldberg ... examines the timing of fatherhood exploring the impact of this important life stage on men's lives. ... This book has given me a fresh perspective on the role of fathers and what influences them, which will impact on my work with families. ... because this is a sound piece of research into an understudied area I think it makes an important contribution to the literature." (Jo Allen, The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy, Vol. 15, December, 2015)
