Child welfare workers' sexism and beliefs about father involvement
2018, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :In many cases, even when fathers are known to the system, they often have little to no contact with their child's case worker (Brown, Callahan, Strega, Walmsley, & Dominelli, 2009; O'Donnell, 2001). The maternal focus in child welfare has led to what some have called a de facto discrimination against fathers (Jaffe, 1983; Lazar, Sagi, & Fraser, 1991). Even when the perpetrators of child maltreatment are fathers, services frequently remain focused on mothers, denying fathers similar chances at rehabilitation while blaming women for the actions of men (Alaggia, Gadalla, Shlonsky, Jenney, & Daciuk, 2015; Skramstad & Skivenes, 2015).
Fathers in child welfare: What do social work textbooks teach our students?
2016, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :A National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being study found that around one-third of children involved in the child welfare system were living with their biological fathers (Bellamy, 2009). However, research indicates that child welfare services are often maternally focused and workers rarely make efforts to engage the fathers of children involved in services (Brown, Callahan, Strega, Walmsley, & Dominelli, 2009; Franck, 2001; Lazar, Sagi, & Fraser, 1991; O'Donnell, 2001; Strega et al., 2008). The systematic disregard for fathers has created what Jaffe (1983) called de facto discrimination against men by child welfare workers.
Fathers' role in the etiology, prevention and treatment of child anxiety: A review and new model
2008, Clinical Psychology ReviewCitation Excerpt :Not surprisingly, fathers are included to a lesser extent than are mothers in the treatment of developmental psychopathology in general and childhood anxiety more specifically. One survey of clinicians found that fathers were included in 6% of the treatment for developmental psychopathology whereas mothers were included in 38% of the treatment (Lazar, Sagi, & Fraser, 1991). More recently, another survey of clinicians found that fathers were included in 30% of therapy sessions and mothers were included in 59% of therapy sessions (Duhig et al., 2002).
