The postdivorce family

"Focusing on the consequences of divorce for children, The Postdivorce Family examines the stressors that divorce can create; adjustment problems among children of divorce; the issue of resilience for children; and individual differences in the psychological adjustment to divorce. The authors also examine the parents' responsibilities after divorce, including custody issues, child support orders, and nonresidential parenting. This book concludes with a section that explores the effects of a high divorce rate on society, including how the prevalence of divorce has changed the family form and structural factors that have contributed to various social problems. With this volume, the authors hope to incite analysis and reflection of the issues surrounding divorce and their implications for public policy." "Integrating the empirical research and policy perspectives of scholars from various disciplines. The Postdivorce Family will be of interest to students and scholars in the areas of family studies, psychology, sociology, human development, law, and social work."--Jacket.
