Renegotiating Family Relationships
Second Edition
Divorce, Child Custody, and Mediation
Second Edition
Divorce, Child Custody, and Mediation
Robert E. Emery
"Emery presents a uniquely optimistic model for helping families cope effectively with some of the most painful life processes they may ever face. This compassionate, wise, empirically supported, and immensely usable guide is indispensable reading for any mental health clinician who works with families."
-Alan S. Gurman, PhD, Senior Preceptor, Clinical Psychology Training Program, University of Wisconsin–Madison, and Consulting Faculty, The Family Institute at Northwestern University
"The book is packed with cutting-edge research and powerful insights about the emotional process of ending a marriage. It provides a unique, in-depth guide to emotion-focused mediation that helps parents resolve disputes in the best possible way so their children can thrive. Research described in the book shows this approach has a positive influence on two powerful predictors of children's healthy adjustment: how parents contain conflict and how they stay involved in their children's lives in meaningful ways."
-JoAnne Pedro-Carroll, PhD, clinical psychologist, Rochester, New York; founder, Children of Divorce Intervention Program
"Emery has done it again. This book presents the art and science of understanding the psychological pain associated with marital separation and helping families make the transition through and beyond divorce. The second edition documents significant advances in knowledge about the intervention pathways that influence emotional recovery for all family members....Emery's trademark humor and warmth and the assured hand of a master scientist-practitioner are evident throughout."
-Jennifer E. McIntosh, PhD, Director, Family Transitions, Melbourne, Australia
"Emery is one of a small and elite group of mediation practitioners who are also rigorous psychological researchers. His approach to empowering parents to make decisions for their own families when facing separation or divorce is supported by strong evidence. This book shows how both legal and psychological thinking about families, children, and divorce have shifted over the last 30 years, and the impact that mediation practice has had. Demonstrating how to frame and address difficult issues effectively, Emery offers a useful road map for successfully restructuring disrupted family systems."
-Robert D. Benjamin, MSW, JD, private practice, Portland, Oregon
"This outstanding book contains many clinical insights into the emotions and dynamics of couples going through divorce, in the context of the best and most recent research....Educators will find it a definitive text for graduate seminars and upper-level undergraduate courses on divorce and family law."
