His inspiring thinking is rooted deeply in his workshops and community activities. This work comes directly from his experience of the experience of others. He is therefore taking care of the partners, children and grandchildren of his participants just as much as he is taking care of them. This is quite an achievement and deserves widespread recognition. As the United States engages with a different kind of ‘father of the nation’, the political and cultural relevance of this book is very clear.” Andrew Samuels, Professor of Jungian Studies, University of Essex, UK. For over 30 years Bruce has been facilitating “Dads’ Groups for Fathers of Young Children” in Berkeley, California. He is the Founder of the Fathers’ Forum Programs. He received his Ph.D for his research on Men’s Development as Fathers. Contact him directly at: (510) 757-5046 drlinton123@yahoo.com www.fathersforum.com
