Summary:
Presents an exploration of the psychology of fatherhood from an archetypal perspective as well as a cultural history that challenges familiar assumptions about the origins of so-called traditional parenting roles.
There are hundreds of books on parenting, but books about parenting identity are nearly all about what it's like to be a mother. Shapiro provides an exploration of the psychology of fatherhood from an archetypal perspective as well as a cultural history that challenges familiar assumptions about the origins of so-called traditional parenting roles. As gender norms and economic models change, parenthood and family life are undergoing an existential transformation. As Shapiro offers update to our collective understanding of fatherhood, he teaches dads how to embrace the joys of fathering while guiding them toward an image of manliness for the modern world.--Adapted from jacket.
