Description: "In this book, the author provides a theoretical and practical understanding of many of the factors that make custody evaluations complex. Stahl integrates disparate research findings into a comprehensive resource that will enable the evaluator and the court to understand and deal with spousal conflict, abuse, and other complicating issues.

He also provides a thorough understanding that divorce brings with it a set of complex needs, and argues that evaluators and the courts must develop a paradigm for weighing these needs in a comprehensive manner. This book provides that paradigm."--BOOK JACKET.
