Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Director of the Family Styles Project at the University of Michigan, Kalter observes that "divorce is a continuing presence in the psychological lives of the great majority of the children" he treats in clinical practice. Children's levels of development--cognitive, emotional and social--at the time of the parents' divorce creates an enormous variability in response. Kalter delineates five stages of development from infancy through adolescence, illustrates them through case studies and anecdotes, and demonstrates a variety of ways parents can help children at different stages cope with change and stress, and provide for possible long-range effects of divorce. This book presents a framework for those concerned with helping children of divorce grow in psychological health.

Imminently helpful to separating families,
By A Customer
This review is from: Growing Up with Divorce: Helping Your Child Avoid Immediate and Later Emotional Problems (Paperback)
As a divorce mediator, I've loaned several copies of this book to separating couples, never to have them returned. Now that the book has been reprinted, I'm ordering a dozen copies for my program, and will give it to separating parents because of its powerful message: "remove your kids from the middle of your marital conflict!"

Growing Up With Divorce by Dr. Neil Kalter has proven to be an excellent tool for helping the children through the emotional pitfalls of divorce. It is divided by age catagory, tells of the signs of emotional distress then gives practical solutions to help the children through their issues. Good tool to use again and again.

Book on Emotional Effects of Divorce on children and adults,
By J. Lerner - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Growing Up With Divorce: Helping Your Child Avoid Immediate and Later Emotional Problems (Paperback)
This book looks at the emotions and stages that families go through with "good, bad, and ugly divorces". The book includes rarely discussed syndromes that may occur when one or more parents engage in emotional warfare and the resulting trauma for the children. For example, I have never read such a good description of parent alienation. This is an excellent book to give to people while they are considering divorce so they know what they have to face or how to proceed so that the children are spared great pain and fear. It is an excellent guide for mental health professionals for assessment of children and couples. (I am in social work.)
