The purpose of this literature review was to describe the research regarding parenting programs designed for incarcerated fathers. In doing so, this manuscript explores parenting programs and interventions specifically tailored to the needs of incarcerated fathers, with particular attention to those incorporating attachment-based approaches and play therapy. Findings in the literature suggested that play therapy as an intervention shows promise for improving the attachment style of parenting, current and post-incarceration. Further implications that include the potential for reducing recidivism and increasing parenting interventions during incarceration are discussed.
