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

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.

Stephan B. Poulter, PhD., provides refreshing and non-intuitive insights into the
elusive career and interpersonal challenges professionals face most often in the
workplace from a paternal relationship perspective.
The most common and debilitating professional struggles we experience —

connected to Five 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

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
