This interactive training will present an overview of the psychological impact of divorce on parents and children. We will examine how divorce can go wrong and what parents and clinicians can do to significantly improve the lot of children during the process.
The Problem: In every divorce there is a leave-er and a leave-ee. One initiates and one is left; it’s asymmetrical and painful. Also, by definition, divorce is a failed marriage, so it’s no surprise that the original marital struggles get played out – and amplified. Anger is accentuated, blaming abounds and fear undermines the project. But, since the goal of a divorce is to separate and build a new life, an alternative narrative is required, especially if there are children involved.
