The Responsible Fatherhood Field: Evolution and Goals

Abstract

For much of the last century the American father was regarded primarily as an economic provider. Officially, in census reports and legally in law books, the American father was head of the house. As Michael Katz might have put it, ablebodied fathers could never become subjects of the American social safety net, because the culture believed a father’s role was to provide, not to be provided for (Katz, 1989).
