About one-third of births in the United States occur to unmarried parents. Evidence suggests that children who grow up in families headed by single parents have worse socioeconomic outcomes than those raised by married parents. "Fatherlessness" has become a byword in public debate and policymaking, yet fundamental questions about unmarried parents and their ideas of paternal responsibility remain unanswered.In My Baby's Father, Maureen R. Waller draws on interviews with unmarried parents whose children receive welfare to address several basic, vital questions: How do low-income mothers and fathers define the father's obligation to his children and explain irresponsible behavior among fathers? How do they negotiate private arrangements of paternal acknowledgment and support? And how do these informal practices interact with mandatory welfare and child-support regulations?The majority of research on low-income families focuses on single mothers. Waller's book also gives a voice to the fathers, historically either excluded from academic and policy discussions or simply characterized as "deadbeat dads" with no sense of paternal responsibility. By documenting the experiences of African-American and white parents simultaneously, Waller illustrates the extent to which beliefs and practices are likely to cut across racial lines. She also shifts the focus from teenagers to adults, who constitute the largest group of unmarried parents.My Baby's Father provides honest glimpses into the lives of unmarried parents. In addition, it offers specific recommendations for social policies that are both better suited to unmarried parents' socioeconomic situations and more responsive to the practices of responsible fatherhood in low-income families.

"Het boek gaat over liefde, gevoelens, slaap en voeding, taal en ontwikkeling, veiligheid en begripsvermogen, angst, agressie, boosheid en socialisatie en nog veel meer wat zich afspeelt en o zo belangrijk is in het leven van onze kleintjes tot 3 jaar, hun ouders, familie en omgeving. Het boek gaat over zoveel meer en is een absolute aanrader voor eenieder die zich geroepen voelt tot de ondankbare maar o zo belangrijke taak van opvoeden!" (prof. Marleen Temmerman) Over de auteur Claudine Crommar is psychoanalytisch therapeute en ging zich bijscholen in Parijs om met ouders en baby's te werken, vanaf de zwangerschap. Haar werkwijze, waarbij naar de oorzaken van gedrag wordt gezocht eerder dan naar de directe aanpassing ervan, werd onder meer door Serge Lebovici onderwezen. Ze geeft ook reeds meerdere jaren vormingen in heel Vlaanderen aan professionelen uit de sector van kinderopvang en aan onthaalouders. Het is vanuit deze ervaring en om tegemoet te komen aan vele vragen over het theoretisch kader van haar praktijk dat dit boek tot stand kwam. Ze verzorgt ook het babyluik in de Permanente vorming psychoanalytische psychotherapie met kinderen en jongeren vanuit freudiaans-lacaniaans perspectief aan de Universiteit Gent.

"From 1931 to 1945, leaders of the SS, a paramilitary group under the Nazi party, sought to transform their organization into a racially-elite family community that would serve as the Third Reich's new aristocracy. They utilized the science of eugenics to convince SS men to marry suitable wives and have many children. Marriage and Fatherhood in the Nazi SS, by Amy Carney, is the first work to significantly assess the role of SS men as husbands and fathers during the Third Reich. The family community, and the place of men in this community, started with one simple order issued by SS leader Heinrich Himmler. He and other SS leaders continued to develop the family community throughout the 1930s, and not even the Second World War deterred them from pursing their racial ambitions. Carney's insight into the eugenic-based measures used to encourage SS men to marry and to establish families sheds new light on their responsibilities not only as soldiers, but as husbands and fathers as well."--
