Description
Divorce is stressful for partners, children, and other family members, causing problematic thoughts and behaviors. High levels of conflict often occur, usually surrounding difficulties in establishing the structure crucial in post-divorce life, such as the custody of children, how much time children spend in each parent's household, and other coparenting factors.
For this reason, it is not uncommon for one or both partners to come into therapy seeking help. Dr. Jay Lebow's approach requires first generating a comprehensive picture of what is occurring in the entire family - including those not in the room - and only then developing a plan for helping each family member. The central therapeutic task is to help clients best use available resources to ameliorate the difficulties they are experiencing.
In Working With Issues in Divorce, Dr. Lebow demonstrates this pragmatic, integrative system for working with families struggling through divorce.
