Description
Summary:Incarcerated fathers or men in the role of father or surrogate fatherin the US are approaching rates that could be considered epidemic in proportion. Children are adversely affected by the absence of fathers.Some authors, researchers, and government view fatherhood as an insignificant or secondary role in the family. As a result, parenting classes for incarcerated fathers have not been considered a viable intervention. This study explores the efficacy of programmed parenting interventions for incarcerated men. 6 Tables, 31 References.
