"About half of marriages end in divorce, and children of divorced parents experience higher rates of psychological problems. Children's healthy development depends on having continued access to both parents, and Divorce and Co-parenting: A Support Guide for the Modern Family details how parents can work together during and after a divorce for the sake of their children. The authors, a psychiatrist and an attorney, provide a wealth of information for parents, including how to tell children about the divorce; what to expect from the legal processes of mediation, arbitration, and custody; and how to help children deal with their responses to the divorce. Consideration is given to difficulties encountered by both parents and children, with extensive coverage of parenting time, disciplinary issues, establishing a support system or stepfamily, and danger signals that indicate professional help is warranted. A helpful question and answer section and resources are provided, and the book makes liberal use of case examples to help guide the entire family through a difficult transitional time"--

"Divorce is a complicated process and not a single event. It has major life implications and must be done right. In this regard, the good divorce is an ethical divorce.The Good Divorce does not follow the pattern of the ubiquitous self-help genre - over simplified and formulaic. Nevertheless, it is designed to be helpful by providing an in-depth exploration of the separation process, post-divorce adjustment, telling the children, caring for children from infants to teens, decision-making models, pathologies of divorce and, finally, hope and recovery through creating an important space for discovery. The author is a clinician and the book is written from the well of experience, scholarship and study that professional practice provides. Yet, it is not written academically and is intended for a general as well as professional audience. The reader will find the helpful inclusion of clinical examples and ample opportunities for reflection and deeper thinking into the many issues that arise in divorce for individuals and families. The essential premise is that the impact of divorce is worsened by the way it is handled rather than something necessarily inherent to the event itself. There is a required ethic, which when followed leads to the good divorce. Knowledge is power in this regard."--Provided by publisher.
