SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Eirini Flouri combines an analysis of the international literature with her own unique studies that observe the long-term effects of fathering on child development. The findings of this major research programme relate to important domains in children's lives, such as mental health, educational achievement and quality of subsequent life relationships. Those who work to improve children's well-being will also find chapters devoted to key issues such as children with non-resident fathers and adolescents with aggressive behaviour."--Jacket.
