Abstract

The problem of the unmarried mother is one that is met frequently in casework agencies today. There is a wealth of material regarding her. In contrast there is little known about the unmarried or unrelated father who continues to live with her after the birth of her child, or who forms a relationship with her after she has had a child by another man.The few studies that have been done indicate that his personality is frequently similar to that of the unmarried mother. However, these studies are usually based on the unmarried father who leaves the mother after she becomes pregnant.
