Reviews

"""Emery has done it again. This book presents the art and science of understanding the psychological pain associated with marital separation and helping families make the transition through and beyond divorce. The second edition documents significant advances in knowledge about the intervention pathways that influence emotional recovery for all family members. With a focus on mediation, the book draws on insights from Emery's own 'gold-standard' longitudinal study and his extensive clinical experience, together with the latest international research on family dispute resolution. Emery's trademark humor and warmth and the assured hand of a master scientist-practitioner are evident throughout."" -- Jennifer E. McIntosh, Family Transitions, Melbourne, Australia ""This outstanding book contains many clinical insights into the emotions and dynamics of couples going through divorce, in the context of the best and most recent research. Emery provides an excellent overview of child custody issues and dispute resolution procedures. The clear writing style makes the book readily accessible to a wide range of readers. All practitioners who work with divorcing couples -- as well as researchers who study divorce -- will want to own a copy. Educators will find it a definitive text for graduate seminars and upper-level undergraduate courses on divorce and family law. Emery is one of our best and brightest, and the second edition of this important work represents a major step forward in our understanding of divorce."" - Paul R. Amato, The Pennsylvania State University, USA"
