OverviewDivorce is a reality of today's family life, but clinical research has shown that it is possible to mitigate its negative effects on children. Dr. Joseph Nowinski, a family therapist with over 20 years of experience treating families, argues that there is a three-year window in which to acclimate children to the change in family life. Combining case studies with new research, Dr. Nowinski gives parents the information and the tools to work through the transition. Written in a warm and authoritative tone, Nowinski will teach parents to: * Focus on your child's new day-to-day reality * Identify early signs of trouble * Help your child through the separation process and help them develop coping skills that will remain with them through life Full Product DetailsAuthor: Joseph NowinskiPublisher: Palgrave Macmillan Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan Dimensions: Width: 13.90cm , Height: 1.60cm , Length: 21.00cm Weight: 0.218kg ISBN: 9780230617728ISBN 10: 0230617727 Pages: 240 Publication Date: 29 January 2010 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
