It examines the effects of the father-child relationship on the child's neurobiological development; hormonal, emotional and behavioral regulatory systems; and on the systemic embodiment of experiences into the child's mental models of self, others, and self-other relationships. The volume reflects two perspectives guiding research with fathers: Identifying positive and negative factors that influence early childhood development, specifying child outcomes, and emphasizing cultural diversity in father involvement; and examining multifaceted, specific approaches to guide father research.\u003cbr\u003eKey topics addressed include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect assessment of father parenting (rather than through maternal reports).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe effects of father presence (in contrast to father absence).\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe full diversity of father involvement.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFather'simpact on gender role differentiation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFather's role in triadic interactions of family dynamics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFather involvement in psychotherapeutic family interventions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis handbook draws from converging perspectives about the role of fathers in very early child development, summarizes what is known, and, within each chapter, draws attention to the critical questions that need to be answered in coming decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Fathers and Child Development \u003c\/i\u003eis a must-have volume for researchers, graduate students, and clinicians, therapists, and other professionals in infancy and early child development, social work, public health, developmental and clinical child psychology, pediatrics, family studies, neuroscience, juvenile justice, child and adolescent psychiatry, school and educational psychology, anthropology, sociology, and all interrelated disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45279760908439,"sku":"9783030510299","price":20566.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030510299.webp?v=1769294476","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/handbook-of-fathers-and-child-development-prenatal-to-preschool-9783030510299","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
