Noting the
social and cultural changes that have altered fathers' traditional

nationality, and custodial status of fathers in families. The articles

and policy matters and the interaction between fathers and children
in the family. The articles and authors are: (1) "Fatherhood
Scholarship: An Overview and Agenda for the Future" (William
Marsiglio); (2) "Reshaping Fatherhood: Finding the Models"
(Kerry J. Daly); (3) "Rethinking Fathers' Involvement in Child
Care" (Alan J. Hawkins and others); (4) "Developing a
Middle-Range Theory of Father Involvement Postdivorce" (Marilyn
Ihinger-Tallman and others); (5) "Fathers' Divorce Life Course
Patterns and Roles" (William Marsiglio); (6) "Paternal

(7) "Fathering in the Inner City: Paternal Participation and
Public Policy" (Frank F. Furstenberg, Jr.); (8) "Fathering
Behavior and Child Outcomes" (Jane Mosley and Elizabeth Thomson);
(9) "What Fathers Say about Involvement with Children after
Separation" (Judith A. Seltzer and Yvonne Brandreth); (10)

(Geoffrey L. Greif and Alfred DeMaris); (11) "Stepfathers with
Minor Children Living at Home: Parenting Perceptions and Relationship
Quality" (William Marsiglio); (12) "The Fathers' Rights
