Description: Using an eclectic, goal-oriented approach, Dr. Bogolub guides mental health professionals helping today's clients cope with a broad range of divorce-related problems. Her book is special in its attention to clients of varied ethnicity, age, and socioeconomic class. After an overview of current trends, controversies, and demographics about divorce, the volume presents a three-stage divorce model (predivorce phase, divorce transition, postdivorce phase).

For each stage, it details issues of children, adolescents, and adults, as well as relevant practice skills. A final section presents implications for legal reform, social policy, and research. Featuring lively illustrative vignettes, the book is appropriate for psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and students in these fields.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 225-244) and index.
