Biography:

Adrienne Burgess (Research Manager at the Fatherhood Institute) writes widely on fatherhood.   Her groundbreaking book Fatherhood Reclaimed:  the making of the modern father (Vermilion, 1997) helped set a new agenda on fatherhood in the UK, and has been published in translation throughout the world -- as has Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? (Vermilion, 2002) in which she presented, in an accessible form, the huge body of research on couple relationships.  Her main Fatherhood Institute research summary -- The Costs and Benefits of Active Fatherhood - as well as smaller summaries on Separated Families; Fathers, Mothers, Work & Family; Maternal & Infant Health in the Perinatal Period,Young Fathers; Anti-social Behaviour & Fatherhood; and so on -- are widely used by policy makers and practitioners alike.   Adrienne is also co-author, with other Institute trainers, of its highly regarded Tookit for Father-Inclusive Practice and Invisible Fathers:  working with young dads  - a resources pack for practitioners. Adrienne speaks and trains on fatherhood in the UK, the US and Australia.
