Abstract
This chapter describes a four-session group work model for fathers who are incarcerated or are in a residential treatment or rehabilitation facility. This model is based on more than 10 years of work with these populations. The first session focuses on introductions and a description from each member about their parenting situation. In the second session, the fathers are asked to describe their family situation growing up, with a focus on what worked for them and what they wished to pass on to their children. The third session centers on their relationships with the women in their life in relation to childrearing. The final session revolves around the messages that society puts out about men’s and women’s roles. Common themes that arise are offered, as are ways to intervene in a group context.
