The Truth About Children and Divorce

Average rating for this product: unrated

By Robert Emery, PhD

"Finally, an internationally respected scholar tells parents the absolute truth about divorce and its effect on children."  - John Gottman, PhD, author of The Heart of Parenting: Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child

Nationally recognized expert Robert Emery applies his twenty-five years of experience as a researcher, therapist, and mediator to offer parents a new road map to divorce. Dr. Emery shows how our powerful emotions and the way we handle them shape how we divorce—and whether our children suffer or thrive in the long run. His message is hopeful, yet realistic: divorce is invariably painful, but parents can help promote their children's resilience.
