Description: Fathers have received a great deal of media attention lately, but the main focus has been on their absence. Regardless of whether the father is present or absent, his actions will have a direct influence on the child's development. "Poppa" Psychology deals with the psychological ramifications of the father-child relationship, regardless of whether the fathers are present or absent.

Specifically, it highlights factors that are related to maladjustment in children and provides suggestions for raising psychologically healthy children.
