Absent father in marriage : a pastoral challengeMbhele, Moruti Herbert January 2015 (has links)
This study focused on the search of the impact of absent father on the lives of young adults in the household. In the interview with the coparticipants,
the research revealed that the problems of absent father prevailed and continued to traumatize young adults despite the
execution of pastoral care of laying hands and uttering of prayers on young adults by pastors and deacons of the church since these are the
pastoral practices and care the church offers to assist in halting the problems. The absence of pragmatic of pastoral method caused dismay
more especially on young adults because they perceived a church as a family of God which is endowed with power to provide healing and
comfort abundantly in their lives as well as changing the mind-set of their fathers who deserted them. Prior to this research the inability to
deal and solve the problems of absent father caused the congregation to encounter dilemma because some members of the congregation
emphasized that these young adults who their problems of absent father seem not to be solved by prayer and laying of hands must be
referred to psychologist while others suggested that such young adults must be excommunicated because they disturb the smooth running of
the worshipping in the church. These views prompted the current research. It was, therefore, the aim of this study to journey with the coparticipants
in order to understand and have knowledge of the situation they are encountering so that the research will employ the
appropriate pastoral care and practice to assist them to get rid of the problems of absent father, / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2015. / Practical Theology / MA / Unrestricted

Experiences of young adult women with emotionally absent fathers / Emené PeyperPeyper, Emené January 2013 (has links)
For many years the focus of research on child well-being and development has been
primarily on the dynamics of the mother-child relationship. The mother was seen as the more
influential parent as she spends more time with the children. The father’s role in the
development process was thus undermined. Fortunately research on the father’s involvement in
a child’s life has improved over the past thirty years. Where previously fathers were mostly
perceived as the breadwinners and providers they are now also considered as being caregivers
who are more closely involved with their children and the accompanying responsibilities.
Research indicates the importance of a father’s role in child development and has found that the
intellectual, emotional and social development of a child is influenced by the father.
The most beneficial circumstances for children to grow up in is where both of the
biological parents are part of the household, satisfied with their marital relationship and loving
towards their children. Unfortunately there is a significant increase in South African families
where the father is absent and where the mother is burdened with additional responsibilities.
However, a father can be emotionally absent despite physical proximity and emotionally absent
fathers can be included when describing fatherlessness due to the destructive effect it has on
children.
Some research indicates that a father is the most significant factor in his daughter’s life
and the quality of their relationship influences her personality and general well-being in life.
Most literature focusing on the paternal parenting role is more focused on the father-son dyad,
the least studied parent-adult child dyad is that of adult daughters and fathers. A great number of
research studies on the subjects of divorce, single parents, physically absent fathers and the
resulting effects on males are available. Much less literature, especially in the South African context, can be found to focus on and explain the experiences of young adult women who grew
up with an emotionally absent father.
The aim of the study was thus to explore the subjective experiences of young adult
women who grew up with an emotionally absent father. A qualitative research method was used
with a phenomenological approach as research design. Eleven voluntary, 20-31 year old adult
women, participated in the study and were recruited by word of mouth. Data were collected
through in-depth interviews that were audio taped and transcribed verbatim. Transcribed data
were analysed by means of thematic analysis from which themes and sub-themes were derived.
Two main themes with sub-themes were identified. It was found that the participants
experienced their fathers as emotionally absent because it was difficult to share their emotions
with them, the participants' fathers did not show affection or express their love. They showed no
interest, approval or acknowledgement and the participants found it difficult to trust their fathers.
According to the participants their relationships with other men were influenced because of this.
They further struggled with trusting other people and suffered from a low self-esteem. Due to
repressed emotions they did not portray their true self and sought their fathers’ approval by doing
things he liked. / MA (Clinical Psychology), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

Die rol van die ontbrekende vaderfiguur in die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks : 'n prakties-teologiese studie / Fazel Ebrihiam FreeksFreeks, Fazel Ebrihiam January 2004 (has links)
The aim of this study was to do research to see whether the father is absent
in the South African context and design a practical theory for possible use by
a Biblical counsellor to help fathers that can't fulfil their role properly in the
family.
The role of the father can again be restored through Biblical counselling.
This study is done on the basis of the following :
a basic theory is set out on which Scriptural perspectives on the
subject have been researched;
a meta theoretical evaluation is obtained from the three disciplines -
Sociology, Psychology and Social Work;
empirical research by means of interviews and questionnaires.
The empirical research indicated that sampling among women proved that
they experience and live through the absent role of the father. According to
the questionnaires and interviews it was remarkable that all eight women
longed for Biblical counselling.
The study further indicates that Scriptural perspectives show how the role of
the father must be according to the original Fatherhood of God. Scripture use
and prayer are the basis to set practical theoretical perspectives, specific as
well as in general, in connection with the absent father figure. The Biblical
counsellor, leader, minister and pastor can possibly use the guidelines to
explain and set out the role of the father.
The greatest responsibility the father carries in his family is the portrayal and
modelling of Jesus Christ's attributes and example.
The conclusion of this study is that the Fatherhood of God makes it possible
for the father to fulfil his role and function within the family and live it out in
the community.
The father cannot be separated from the family, because the relationship
wherein the father, mother and child stand, is indissoluble. / The aim of this study was to do research to see whether the father is absent

Adolescent perspectives of father involvement in semi urban familiesReetsang, Phetolo January 2020 (has links)
Father involvement is a prominent topic in literature and the discourse often refers to the availability and presence of the biological father in the home. Most homes in South Africa are female headed in which fathers are absent and not involved in their children’s lives because of factors such as poverty; cultural expectations of paying for damages and pride price as well as commitment to be part of the child’s life. South Africa has one of the highest rates of non-resident fathers in Africa, with nine million children growing up without fathers. Currently there is insufficient literature on paternity, including father involvement in South Africa, hence this study. It will explore how an African child perceives father involvement, in order to inform professionals when providing interventions. A qualitative exploratory case study design was used to inductively generate themes from five learners relating to their perspective, using semi-structured interviews and a focus group discussion interview. From thematic analysis of the participants’ extractions, three themes emerged as the research question answers: i) Theme 1: Impact of father presence/absence on the child; ii) Theme 2: Father’s contribution towards the family; and ii) Theme 3: Family functioning. The results encapsulate the different aspects of what a South African father’s role represents. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2020. / Educational Psychology / MEd / Unrestricted

Mentorskap in die maatskaplike funksionering van die seun in sy laat-middelkinderjare / J.P.DP SteytlerSteytler, Johannes Petrus Du Plessis January 2007 (has links)
The boy in his late middle childhood faces enormous changes — physically, socially and
mentally. World-wide, people experience challenges - politically and economically as well as regarding social structures such as families. Children are not excluded from these challenges. Family structures change over time and fathers are increasingly becoming absent in the lives of their children. This Master's dissertation provides information concerning three major aspects regarding the boy. The first, as described in Article 1, is
the effect of the absent father on the boy in his late middle childhood and that of the alternative father figure, the mentor. The second major aspect, as described in Article 2, is the influence of family ordinance on the boy in his transition phase from middle childhood into adolescence, his experience of the biological father and his expectancies regarding a mentor relationship
The third major aspect is the adolescent boy's experience of his biological father, the influence of an alternative father figure, namely the mentor, and the affect of the mentor relationship. / Thesis (M.A. (MW))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2008.
