Did you grow up with a father in prison? A research team in the School of Psychology, Trinity College Dublin is conducting an important study to explore this unique experience.
Many studies look at the impact of maternal incarceration on children. Other studies look at the impact of the absence of the father on the family as a whole. This study exclusively looks at the experience of the male child and the effect of imprisonment on the father-child relationship. It will look at the meaning-making that sons engage in, while reflecting on their childhood experiences.
