The topic of women divorced at midlife without children is one that
has, to date, been absent from professional and academic
literature, though these women make up a considerable and growing
portion of our population. This book explores the experience,
meaning, and impact of divorce at mid-life for women without
children, and provides insights into the unique stressors and
issues confronting these individuals so that the practitioner can
better anticipate and meet their needs. Clinical considerations and
case examples will be presented via the narrative stories of women
who have experienced this unusual role in a world that is still
primarily centered on marriage and mothering. This book provides
case examples, clinical themes, treatment recommendations, and
suggests coping techniques and strategies. Castaldo draws heavily
upon social constructionist, feminist, and narrative perspectives
as theoretical frameworks for the book, as well as the results of
her own qualitative research study. She suggests new concepts for
women's psychological development, including: an expanded family
life cycle to include a normalized stage of mature single adulthood
and a developmental process of autonomous competence for women.
Other critical coping skills include meaning modification, role
innovation, self-nurturing, expanded intimacy and attachment, and
multi-diverse industriousness.
