Sons and Fathers by John Crosby

Sons and Fathers by John Crosby

Sons and Fathers explores the age-old dilemma of conflict between sons and fathers, especially conflict stemming from issues of paternal authority.

"This book helps us to view fathers in cultural context and reveals each famous son as a unique individual and as a product of personal and broader historyGrounded in the lifespan theory of Erikson and the family systems theory of Bowen, it provides a psycho-historical approach to sons and fathers. From Mozart to Stalin, from Kafka to Lincoln, every chapter is a good read." - David W. Shwalb, Southern Utah University, USA

"The strength of this volume is the scholarly overview of key perspectives and the supporting research relevant to adolescent development. It integrates new prevention and treatment findings with developmental theory. The authors are to be commended for their even-handed review of controversies surrounding theoretical and intervention approaches while maintaining careful attention to the details and facts." - Marion Forgatch, Oregon Social Learning Center, USA
