Working with Children and Parents through Separation and Divorce: The Changing Lives of Children by Emilia Dowling
Working with Children and Parents through Separation and Divorce combines research with clinical and practical approaches to working with families going through stressful changes linked to separation or divorce. Attention is given to the wider context of children's lives with the implications for general practice, schools and other services addressed in special chapters. A focused approach to divorce related problems that takes each family member's view into account is illustrated. Combining individual and family work helps parents to resolve difficulties, enabling children troubled by parental separation to progress with their own lives.
This book is essential reading for `front line' professionals as well as specialists who encounter children and families going through this life transition in the course of their work.
