Nationally recognized expert Robert Emery applies his twenty-five years of experience as a researcher, therapist, and mediator to offer parents a new roadmap to divorce-never before laid out for general readers. Dr. Emery shows how our powerful emotions, and the way we handle them, shape how we divorce-and whether our children suffer or thrive in the long run. His message is hopeful, yet realistic-divorce is invariably painful, but parents can help promote their children's resiliency. With compassion and authority, Dr. Emery explains:

o Why it is so hard to really make divorce work
o How anger and fighting can keep people from really separating
o Why legal matters should be one of the last tasks
o Why parental love and authority can be the best "therapy" for kids

One million children are affected by divorce each year. This unique book combines the compelling guidance of a renowned researcher and the sensitivity of a practicing therapist and divorced father to help parents and children emerge strong, independent, and ready to move into a new, fulfilling phase of life.
