Dr. Stephan B. Poulter is a licensed clinical psychologist
with a private practice in West Los Angeles, California. He
has worked in various settings with more than 2,200
fathers and sons in the last twenty-three years.
Before he became a psychologist, he attended theological
seminary as well as serving as a police officer with the city
of Glendale, California. While attending graduate school
and working full-time as a police officer, his law
enforcement specialty was working with “at risk” juveniles,
primarily young (twelve- to eighteen-year-olds) male
criminal offenders, in programs designed to redirect their
anger and salvage their future. This work sparked his
realization that America is facing an epidemic of fatherless
boys and rage, pain, and violence are the results. It
motivated Dr. Poulter to give up the ministry and pursue a
doctorate in clinical psychology with an emphasis on
adolescent male development.
In 1998 he co-authored Mending the Broken Bough:
Restoring the Promise of the Mother and Daughter
Relationship (Berkley Books) with Dr. Barbara Zax. In
promoting the book around the country, he quickly
discovered that “as much as I knew about the relationships
between girls and their mothers, women preferred to hear
about these issues strictly from another woman, not a man.
It was then that I realized what I really needed to write
about was something that hits much closer to home, and
which has so crucially shaped my own life: becoming the
kind of father to your son that you never had yourself, but
always wanted and hoped for.” It was this realization that
eventually led to the writing of his book Father Your Son:
How to Become the Father You've Always Wanted to
Be.

Father Your Son: How to Become the Father You’
ve Always Wanted to Be, by Stephan Poulter, Ph.D., is
a must for any man who wants to establish a powerful
emotional bond with his son. As its title suggests, it is
packed with practical tips on how to connect with sons of
all ages and in all stages of development. But perhaps
more important than this “how to” advice is Dr. Poulter’s
emphasis on exploring your relationship with your own
father.
Make no mistake: Your approach to fatherhood is
influenced by the parenting style of your own father. Even
if he was abusive or absent and you are determined not to
follow in his footsteps, the wounds he inflicted will
“handicap” you unless you make a conscious effort to
come to terms with them. Dr. Poulter addresses the
process of confronting (not necessarily in the literal sense)
your father and working through the pain he caused.
Then, and only then, you can emerge from the
metaphorical “cave” ready to be the strong,
compassionate, mentoring father your own son deserves.

predominant fathering styles, which Dr. Poulter defines as:
-The Super Achiever Father
-The Time Bomb Father
-The Passive Father
-The Absent Father
-The Compassionate / Mentor -Father
Dr. Poulter guides you through the process of
understanding your Father Factor as an invaluable
resource and necessary step towards achieving greater
professional success and personal satisfaction with a
series of tips and tools, Q&A, quizzes, first person
accounts and analysis to uncover the following:
-What is your Father Factor and how does it affect your
career?
-The Big 7 Father Factor issues in all careers.
-The Top 10 qualities and behaviors to get on the career
fast-track.
-Your style of attachment and its impact in your
professional life.
-How understanding your Father Factor will move your
career forward.
-Your Professional Toolbox: 8 tools you need to reach
personal and professional goals.

particularly in a destructive relationship, you'll understand
how your career relationships in many ways mirror your
degree of comfort with your father's emotional legacy. In
this way, career roadblocks — often based on interactions
with people on the job — will be more easily transformed
