Description: [This volume] is designed for all therapists who work with divorce. Examining the searing losses of divorce, Joshua Ehrlich explains how therapists--through individual therapy, parental guidance, and broader interventions--can help family members mourn. This book also addresses difficulties with mourning, including the high-conflict divorce, and how to deal with those difficult situations constructively. Divorce and Loss provides detailed clinical vignettes to illustrate clinical challenges and specific interventions and also examines the emotional challenges of working with divorce. (back cover).
