The Handbook of Divorce and Custody brings together mental health
professionals and forensic specialists dedicated to working in the
legal arena with families in crisis. Section I provides the
individual perspectives of experienced clinicians, all of whom
share a psychodynamic and developmental purview, and supplements
their accounts with the viewpoints of a lawyer and a judge. Section
II examines parental psychopathology, which is often at the root of
family conflict and turmoil. Section III deals with the nature and
extent of the state's potential involvement with the family, from
ensuring parents' rights to raise their children to identifying
those circumstances that justify the termination of parental
rights. The remaining three sections follow the progressive issues
engaged by divorcing families as they work their way through the
legal system: forensic evaluation, post-divorce legal arrangements,
and the emotional aftermath of divorce, including indications for
various types of therapeutic intervention. Through the Handbook,
contributors pay special attention to a set of core issues that
underlie - and complicate - the evaluations, recommendations, and
judicial determinations that enter into the divorce/custody
process. Specifically, they focus on the inherent conflict between
the family's right to privacy and the state's commitment to the
best interest of children; the increasingly uncertain question of
what constitutes a family and who has the right to legal standing;
the problematic role of fathers in the lives of their children; the
nature of the evaluation process and the role of the forensic
expert in a "good enough" evaluation; the important differences
between the role of therapist and the role of evaluator; and,
finally, the impact of divorce itself on the lives of today's
children.
