DESCRIPTION

How They Hurt Us All

This groundbreaking volume destroys the most damaging beliefs about fathers. Using the most recent research, this pioneering work exposes these baseless beliefs and the toll they take on children’s relationships with their fathers, parents’ relationship with one another, and the physical and mental health of fathers and mothers.


Myths and Lies About Dads: How They Hurt Us All is a groundbreaking book that destroys more than 100 of the most damaging beliefs about fathers. Using the most recent research, this pioneering work exposes these baseless beliefs and the toll they take on children’s relationships with their fathers, parents’ relationships with one another, and the physical and mental health of fathers and mothers.

Tackling a wide range of topics from custody laws, to children’s toys, to the sexist behavior of counselors, pediatricians, and lawyers, Dr Linda Nielsen describes in vivid detail how these myths are linked to many of our most pressing issues:

  • Creating more gender equity in childcare and housework
  • Reducing child abuse, post-partum depression, and fathers’ suicide rates
  • Expanding mothers’ and fathers’ options at home and at work
  • Reducing children’s academic, behavioral, and emotional problems
  • Lessening the pressures of parenting for both parents
  • Changing sexist policies and practices that hurt parents and children
  • Improving the economic situations for parents and their children.

The book is not only a wake-up call for parents but also for students and professionals in medicine and family law, social work, child development, education, and in the publishing, advertising, media, and entertainment industries. Above all, the book empowers parents to free themselves from the myths and lies about fathers that bind them.
