Defusing the High-Conflict Divorce: A Treatment Guide for Working with Angry Couples (Practical Therapist)

It has been estimated that nearly twenty percent of the one million divorces each year in the US involve high-conflict relationships. Angry, emotional disputes related to custody, parenting time, child support payments, visitation and more may go on for years. Who suffers? The children, mostly. Post-divorce conflict may be the most significant factor in adjustment (or maladjustment) for children of divorce. DEFUSING THE HIGH CONFLICT DIVORCE is a practical guide for therapists and others who work with angry divorcing couples. The book offers a unique set of proven programs for quelling the hostility in high-conflict co-parenting couples, and "defusing" their prolonged, bitter and emotional struggles.
