Books by Gill Gorell Barnes

This book is about the changing social contexts for fathering in the United Kingdom since the end of the Second World War, and the social moves from patriarchal fatherhood to multiple ways of doing 'dad'. The book questions why fathers have been marginalised by therapists working with children and families.

The new edition of this well-known text addresses the plurality of family life today, and considers the way in which the changeable 'theory of family' has influenced the approaches of those working with families.

This text combines research, clinical and practical approaches to working with children and parents going through stressful changes linked to separation or divorce. A focused approach to divorce related problems, taking each family member's views into account, is illustrated.
