Several jurisdictions have attempted to render divorce more
harmonious by abolishing matrimonial 'fault' and facilitating the
resolution of divorce disputes by mediation. In Britain, these
provisions appear in the Family Law Act 1996. The book presents a
challenge to the underlying assumptions that conflict and the
adversarial system are undesirable. Its focus is on adults'
experiences of divorce. In a series of interviews, divorcing people
told their own stories of divorce. The personal narratives revealed
that divorce can be emotionally traumatic, but it has positive
sides too. The emotions of divorce are not pathological , but are
readily explicable as ordinary human coping strategies , in the
context of the real material privations that many divorcing people
suffer. These coping strategies often involve conflict and
acrimony. From a psychodynamic perspective, it is argued that these
are integral, and psychologically necessary, aspects of the divorce
process. This book is particularly topical in the light of the
recent decision of the British Government to postpone the
implementation of the Family Law Act 1996 and the acknowledged need
for research to inform policy.
