Ministry of Health Suicide Report Neglects Men
FYI, here is my letter to the Minister of Health concerning his ministry’s latest report on suicide, due for public release on 24 May no doubt with Peter Dunne crowing about the achievement.

Robert Wiston discusses Dr Linda Neilsons work Dr. Linda Neilsons website While most American women obsess about the laments of frazzled mothers, a handful of their daughters at Wake Forest University are turning their attention to the study of that mysterious and often-demonized species – fathers.

Scientific Basis for Rebuttable Presumption of Shared Parenting
Developments in behavioural research in the last 40 years should have long ago swept away the old ignorant prejudices, that substitute for valuable decision making in familycaught$.

Separated or Together Parenting
John Potter made the following comment: http://menz.org.nz/2012/triple-p-parenting-or-pet/comment-page-1/#comment-730030 It seems to me that the dynamics of parenting as a couple are quite different to how it is if you are solo. It’s not clear to me how well PPP addresses this issue. John has made the distinction between solo and separated. Another very important comparison, is […]

Impact of abortion on men

If these are not understood, they may come back as psychological problems…. This difficult topic is well covered, in my opinion, on Life […]
