Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

The view offered in this book is to look at divorce not as a catastrophe, but an event that changes families and family members. Using research they conducted with over 100 families the authors describe what the experience of parental separation and divorce is like for the various family members. Case studies and quotations from interviews illustrate how different families handle the process, and what a different experience it is for adults and children in the same household. The book emphasizes the factors that make parental divorce harder and easier on family members, and eveluates for and against many common beliefs.
