THE UNEXPECTED LEGACY OF DIVORCE

Written by two clinician/researchers and a science reporter, this is a highly understandable narrative on how children are affected by divorce. Some of the findings are disheartening, especially for younger children whose parents remain dysfunctional or unavailable after a divorce. But for children of all ages, the damage is minimized when parents get on with their lives and maintain good physical structure and emotional availability. The program is a gentle reminder that we adults are powerful people in the lives of our children and that it is worth the effort to keep a family intact, and to stay personally balanced when this isn't possible.
