Father and Child Reunion

How to Bring the Dads We Need to the Children We Love

By Farrell, Warren

Publishers Summary:
The author in this book demolishes conventional wisdom about the nature of fatherhood and shows how the courts, media, and government create a vast array of subtle, immensely powerful undercurrents that separate men from their children. Anyone who cares about fatherhood and parenting, anyone interested in the legal and emotional issues that divide fathers from children, anyone viewing fatherhood from the perspective of a journalist, social worker, or lawmaker, and especially any single, married, or divorced parent needs to read this book. The author has drawn on research from around the world to uncover paradigm-shifting findings. With evidence from court cases, law enforcement records, national statistics, and therapeutic case studies, the author illustrates how the judicial system, media, and government often make an enemy of dads. The author explains how fathers enjoy virtually no naturally assumed parenting rights within the legal system and how, even in other, less typically confrontational arenas – such as our school system – a wide range of unreported forces divides fathers from their children.
