Synopsis:
Diagnosable psychological problems occur in 30%-40% percent of individuals whose parents divorce-a group that includes more than a million children each year. Divorce and Co-parenting draws on anecdotes from the authors' own medical and law practices to illustrate precisely how parents' decision-making can powerfully impact their children's well-being before, during, and after a divorce. This volume, a revised edition of How to Help Your Children Overcome Your Divorce, is updated to reflect significant changes in family dynamics, technology and social media, and the legal landscape. It examines new methods of alternative dispute resolution, from mediation and collaborative law to parenting coordinators. Comprehensive enough to serve as a multidisciplinary resource for psychiatrists, social workers, pediatricians, attorneys, and other professionals, this guide also serves as a reference for parents, grandparents, teachers, and even adolescents looking for practical information on mitigating the effects of divorce on children and adolescents.
