Father--The Other Partner: A Survey of Current Knowledge.

Riach, Lorraine

Australian Journal of Early Childhood, v6 n2 p29-33 Jun 1981

Reviews research studies regarding the father's role in child development and indicates that theoretical perspectives on father-child relationships are incomplete. According to recent research, the father's role noticeably influences child development. Changing sex roles do not appear to have influenced most Australian fathers to share caregiving responsibilities. (Author/DB)
