  Much contemporary scholarship on fathers comes from a deficit model, focusing on men's inadequacies as parents. This volume goes beyond a deficit model of fatherhood to what the editors term a 'generative fathering perspective'. It presents research that helps readers to understand generative fathering in challenging life circumstances.
