Topics

As a psychologist, he has been working for over 25 years with the theme of family. His books criticize the folly of our modern time, the increasing isolation by the disappearance of the Community and the associated difficulties for the parents. However, they also represent a change in thinking about the needs of children. He complains, inter alia, a lack of support for boys in school. He approaches the world as a consultant for young friendly schools. In his latest book he is committed to promoting the relationship between young children and parents, he is threatened by too early and too long group -home care and the associated measurable stress for small children.

In each of his books he treats an underlying social problem. His experiences are based on the work with problem families, Vietnam veterans, emergency victims and victims of rape, trauma and bullying.

Commitment

In his native Australia he has been working for social justice as well as environmental issues. He also advocates for human rights campaigns and helps refugee families and children in dealing with the Australian authorities. He is co-founder of The SievX National Memorial Project, a reminder and help for the victims of the tragedy, in which 300 refugee mothers and children, died under suspicious circumstances on a ship in the voyage to Australia. He is a board member of the Collinsvale Centre.

Works

The Making of Love ( 1980) was a response to the then epidemic spreading distinctions from which Biddulphs run, most would have been unnecessary and avoidable.

In Manhood ( Men Seeking ) are issues like father -friendly workplace practices, paternity leave, counseling services and health services for men, addressed. Furthermore, it emphasizes the recognition of the importance of fathers, for a clear and valuable role in the lives of sons and daughters. The book is credited with having a positive influence and to have changed the plan that exists between thousands of men and their fathers, a unique reconciliation that was achieved through the written word.

The book Raising Boys became the first parents bestseller in history.
