Generative Fathering: Engaging fathers in family based programs

Generative Fathering is a guide for practitioners to improve their engagement and work with fathers in community services, social work, psychology, counselling, domestic violence and health contexts. Using a strengths-based (non-deficit) approach, this book explores the pivotal role of fathers within their families' life, and how this can be harnessed to enhance family well-being. Generativity, referring to the sacrificial caring or support provided to a significant relationship or the next generation, is explored and presented as a framework that can best guide strengths-based practice in working with fathers. Generative Fathering provides practitioners with a framework to deepen father-child engagement and work collaboratively with men while addressing the challenges that can threaten these relationships.
