“Wendy Goldberg … examines the timing of fatherhood exploring the impact of this important life stage on men’s lives. … This book has given me a fresh perspective on the role of fathers and what influences them, which will impact on my work with families. … because this is a sound piece of research into an understudied area I think it makes an important contribution to the literature.” (Jo Allen, The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy, Vol. 15, December, 2015)
