This systematic review of 74 studies published between 1980 and 2024 examined six domains on the effects of paternal unemployment: psychological and physical well-being, children's academic and cognitive outcomes, fertility, parental involvement and caregiving, gender roles, and cultural adaptation. Almost 40% of the studies used longitudinal designs, providing stronger evidence about how unemployment influences family dynamics over time. Findings indicate that masculinities, cultural context, and immigration status shape how unemployed fathers interpret and respond to job loss, affecting caregiving and family roles. The most marked adverse effects were on psychological well-being and parenting, particularly among immigrant fathers, although unemployment sometimes increased their involvement.

Fathering content was coalesced into the following categories: (a) fathering satisfaction and relationship quality, (b) fathering involvement, (c) fathering and health, and (d) fathering in adverse family conditions. Together, these categories illuminated how fathering continues as a dynamic practice across adulthood, how masculinities shape paternal engagement and vulnerability, and how fathers' later-life relationships with children contribute to broader understandings of aging families.

Therapists' efforts can be enhanced through attending to how men and fathers may have been socialized towards restrictive masculine ideologies (e.g., devaluing emotional experience) and how relevant behavioral patterns, contextualized in gender privilege, are perpetuated through the internal experience of men being afraid but not knowing it. We offer an attachment and emotion framework for masculine socialization and clinically working with men and fathers; that is, fathers' caregiving instincts and capacity to provide development-promoting care for their children are thwarted because they are constrained by their legitimate fear of their emotions. We review the literature on working with men and fathers in therapy (which is primarily on cisgender men), recommend ways to strengthen this aspect of therapy, drawing from the framework of attachment theory, and recognize the need for a more inclusive framework to address the heterogeneity of being a man and father.</p>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"18 2","pages":"328-342"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jftr.70040","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145844755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transformative change is conceptualized as a U-shaped developmental journey from ego-based, reactive caregiving toward eco-based, relationally attuned parenting. Four developmental phases represent core psychological dimensions in parental transformation, with transitions facilitated by key capacities in regulation, vulnerability, cooperation, and fluctuation. By integrating attachment, mentalization, and polyvagal theories, the framework synthesizes disparate approaches into a unified conceptual model. The framework posits that meaningful parenting change involves not only skill acquisition but deeper shifts in presence and meaning-making, enabling new parent–child dynamics that support behavioral improvement. The framework advances family science by illuminating how parental consciousness evolves from reactive patterns to integrative, relation-centered capacities. Clinical implementation requires individualized assessment recognizing families' diverse cultural contexts, attachment histories, and developmental starting points.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"18 1","pages":"90-104"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145241954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the binary conceptualization captures the behavioral responses and mental health impacts of parental reactions to LGB children, parents' motivations and narratives are often overlooked. Gaining insight into these motivations can enhance engagement strategies and identify opportunities for strengthening and rebuilding parent–child relationships. Grounded in attachment theory and emotionally focused family therapy, the proposed triadic model directs attention toward the caregiving intentions behind parental behaviors and their alignment with the child's attachment needs: (a) Matched care describes attuned and affirming behaviors; (b) misguided care captures over-involved or controlling actions based on misinformation; and (c) withdrawn care reflects emotionally distant responses stemming from personal distress or self-protection. By reframing parental responses as caregiving strategies, whether effective or misaligned, this model offers a compassionate and actionable lens for understanding parent–child dynamics. It has practical implications for clinical work and research by supporting more individualized, systemic, and reparative interventions that promote family reconciliation and stronger relational bonds following an LGB child's coming out.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"18 1","pages":"105-117"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145730887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
