| Summary |
"Chronically warring couples, children used as pawns, spouses who prolong the moment of separation - these are the components of the "difficult divorce."" "The authors found that both children and adults fare best when the spouses learn to control their anger and focus on their children's welfare. By integrating family-therapy principles and individual dynamics, they have devised a unique method of face-to-face problem solving, sometimes with the entire family, often in sessions with individual members, to help restore parental responsibility and to realign relationships within the divorcing family."--BOOK JACKET |
