Divorce has become a life event affecting more than two million adults and more than one million children each year. "The Divorce and Divorce Therapy Handbook" presents important findings on divorce, as well as a variety of therapeutic approaches that have been developed. Written by practitioners for practitioners, this aims to be a comprehensive handbook for all mental health professionals, therapists and counselors who have to deal with the multitude of problems associated with divorce and remarriage. It is an overview of contemporary thought and approaches to the therapeutic needs of adults and children faced with family disruption.

"The wide ranging chapters cover all major aspects of the dynamics and process of divorce and remarriage, summarizing what has transpired in the past few decades and adding critical insights. There are practical suggestions for assessing and intervening with the troubled individuals, couples, and families who seek therapeutic services around issues ostensibly emanating from these life cycle events" -Florence W. Kaslow, Ph.D. -- Florence W. Kaslow
