Review of Divorced Parents and Their Children: A Guide for Mental Health Professionals

Reviews the book, Divorced Parents and Their Children: A Guide for Mental Health Professionals by Dorothy W. Cantor and Ellen A. Drake (1983). Acting on the assumption that enhancing parenting skills can minimize the psychopathology in children whose parents are involved in the painful process of separation or divorce, the authors have fashioned a useful therapy handbook for mental health professionals. The traditional literature review of the effects of divorce on children at various developmental stages is complete and is a good introduction for professionals unfamiliar with this area.
