abstract: Family physicians are in a strategic position to help couples adjust to the many changes that occur during the transition to parenthood. We review some of the issues for fathers at this time and suggest strategies for family physicians for including fathers and assisting couples to adjust to the changes in the interest of promoting healthy families.
