Summary

The past twenty years have seen the emergence of family therapy as well as family research, much of it related to divorce, step-families, and the effects of divorce on children. Socio-legal studies have also been a recent, though separate, development. InFamilyTransformation During Divorce and Remarriage, Margaret Robinson integrates these two strands of research with the application of systems theory, the basis of family therapy. This book is the first to look thoroughly at the complete divorce-remarriage-step-family cycle in the context of the demographic data, the legal processes, and the systemic theoretical framework. For each phase of the cycle, the author describes the stages of development, summarizes the relevant research, and illustrates the effects on family members with case examples. In addition, she outlines some of the present research proposals which are likely to change both attitudes and practice in relation to families during divorce. Family Transformation During Divorce and Remarriagewill be an essential source of reference for counselors, marital and family therapists, and social workers.
