Divorce in Psychosocial Perspective

<p>Many books deal with divorce and its aftermath -- some deal with the impact of divorce on children and families others with the legal or sociological aspects of divorce and a few focus on divorced mothers and fathers. Most of these books are characterized by their practical orientation toward the issues and problems posed by divorce. None of these however have attempted to offer an integrated view of the massive amount of theoretical and research literature on divorced adults and their children. In addition none present a comprehensive view of divorce as a psychological process within its larger social context. <br><br> Filling that void this book: <br> * offers a comprehensive view of divorce as a social interpersonal and psychological phenomenon <br> * reviews the theory and research on divorce focusing on the major protagonists of the divorce drama: the mother the father and the children and <br> * introduces a social-psychological theory of divorce process.</p>
