New York, NY: Viking Penguin, 1989. First Edition, First Printing . Hardcover. COLLECTIBLE - NEW/New. Text/BRAND NEW & Bright. First Edition, First Printing/Review Copy, Bi-color boards/Fine. DJ/Fine. LAID IN: Viking Press inserts. Modern fathers may be anxious to perform differently than their own distant, though loving, fathers did. But most men are raised to succeed in work, not at home; society has traditionally failed to socialize men in the dynamics of child rearing, particularly in the art of being touched and free expression of feelings. Clinical psychologist, founder of Boston University's renowned Fatherhood Project Ronald Levant collaborates with John Kelly for this practical, skill-oriented guide for men to become a father that children are intimate with & can confide in --- particularly a women's social roles change. 236 pgs, 11 chapters in 3 parts: Part I, The Skills; II, The Skills & Child Development; and III, The New American Family.
