"Frank L'Engle Williams examines the anthropological record for evidence of the social behaviors associated with paternity, suggesting that ample evidence exists for the importance of such behaviors for infant survival. Focusing on the first three postnatal years, he considers the implications of father care--both in the fossil record and in more recent cross-cultural research--for the development of such distinctively human traits as bipedalism, extensive brain growth, language, and socialization. He also reviews the rituals by which many human societies construct and reinforce the meanings of socially recognized fatherhood--hormonal, physiological, and social changes incorporated into specific cultural manifestations of paternity. Father care was adaptive within the context of the parental pair bond, and shaped how infants developed socially and biologically. The initial imprinting of socially recognized fathers during the first few postnatal years may have sustained culturally-sanctioned indirect care such as provisioning and protection of dependents for nearly two decades thereafter. In modern humans, this three-year window is critical to father-child bonding--which differs so intrinsically from the mother-child relationship. By increasing the survival of children in the past, present, and quite possibly the future, father care may be a driving force in the biological and cultural evolution of Homo sapiens."

With five years of parenting his irrepressible daughter Maeve under his belt, Dan Roche, already forty-five years old, and his wife, Maura, face the prospect of another arrival and the myriad of emotions that come with a second child. From revelling in the joys of pregnancy such as Maura's delight at ""having cleavage"" and being able to eat whatever she desires; to assuaging the parental anxieties of choosing the right obstetrician, correcting the mistakes one made with the first child, and sending children to college in the future; to navigating the unforeseen, experiencing the unexpected d

"Although the benefits of psychological consultation in the pediatric setting are well established, a gap often exists between the demand for these services and funding. We have embarked on our longstanding goal to develop a group-based intervention model for parents of premature infants, adapting our manual of individual trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy to help reduce feelings of parental isolation. This book describes a more global approach to psychological consultation in the NICU integrating interventions that begin prior to the infant's conception and extend well beyond the NICU hospitalization. Chapter 1 provides a context and review of the medical aspects of the NICU environment and the neurodevelopmental consequences of prematurity. In Chapter 2 reviews the common psychological reactions of mothers of premature infants, including specific risk factors associated with maternal psychological distress. It also discusses the relationship between parental posttraumatic stress and infant outcomes as it relates to such issues as breastfeeding, maternal-infant interaction, attachment, and infant development. Chapter 3 describes the form and prevalence of symptoms of paternal psychological distress and outline a curriculum for a group-based intervention specifically designed to address fathers' concerns. Chapter 4 addresses developmental care interventions that overlap with interventions more narrowly focused on parental psychological distress. Chapters 5 and 6 describe our intervention model in both the individualand group therapy formats. Chapter 7 addresses vulnerable child syndrome, which is associated with adverse developmental outcomes in children as well as overutilization of health care resources. Application of the trauma model to the concept provides a framework to understand how parental behavior is altered in the context of trauma. Finally, Chapter 8 discusses how to implement a psychological intervention program in the NICU that includes screening the parents of premature infants for symptoms of psychological distress"--
