Any suggestion of bibliography in a wide sense (papers, guidelines, systematized experiences) about "male" parenting (fathering) and in special in the context of children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities and/or "mental disorders"?
I'm working in a workshop for fathers, in a clinical setting.
Brad Harrington at Boston College's Work and Family Center has focused his research on fathers for the last 20+ years..... Would check his website for particulars: https://www.drbradharrington.com/
If you are interested in papers on the topic of parental leave and challenges for fathers in the implementation of their caring activities with regard to gainful employment as well as family, partnership and parentship, I can recommend some of our English language papers. Although these have focused on the current German context, they also deal with the topic in relation to the international state of research, so that you can also get a good overview of current debates in this area.

About Fathers you could also look up the work of e.g. Andrea Doucet. But since the field of research in this area is so broad, it would help to specify what aspects of 'fathering' you're looking for.
Kind regards!
