Featuring excerpts of essays collected from over one thousand young
adults while in the throes of divorce, this book paints a picture
of the pain and the hope shown by the storytellers. By framing the
narratives with an analysis of the most recent divorce literature,
the authors provide readers with a greater and more vivid
understanding of the effects of divorce. Challenging the contention
that most children will be irretrievably hurt by their parents'
divorce, some stories clearly demonstrate the strength and
resilience many have learned in dealing with a divorce in the
family. Emphasis is placed on how hope about the possibilities of
having close relationships - as well as a willingness to create
stronger families in their own lives - represent abiding
motivations in this sample of young people. The authors hope that
the use of the raw input of respondents will make the experiences
more realistic and ultimately help people deal with major loss
events in their lives. Highlights of the new edition include: A new
chapter (7) that demonstrates the messiness of divorce (infidelity,
dysfunctional interactions, multiple marriages/relationships, and
the financial expense), the fading stigma of divorce, the latest
divorce rates, the increased average age of first time marriages,
and the recent hook-up phenomenon wherein young people are showing
a reluctance to commitment Updated throughout with the most current
demographic data, new findings from the top researchers in the
field, and the latest intervention programs A review of the Divorce
Variability and Fluidity Model (DVFM) that helps predict
variability in adjusting to divorce More suggestions to help
children adapt to divorce, including material on parenting
education classes and mediation as a method for easing the process
A list of readings and suggested websites for further review More
tables and graphs to summarize key concepts. An ideal supplement
for courses on divorce, family studies, close relationships, and
loss and trauma taught in human development and family studies, and
clinical, counseling, and social psychology, as well as
communication, social work, and sociology, these engaging stories
also appeal to practitioners and those interested in the effects of
divorce in general.
