Marriage, divorce, and children's adjustment
"The research-based book on children and divorce, completely updated with the most recent findings from psychology, sociology, economics, and the law. This second edition presents an integrated, multidisciplinary account of children's experience of divorce including historical, cultural, and detailed demographic perspectives. The author highlights children's resilience, yet is sensitive to children's pain throughout the divorce process and beyond. Robert E. Emery reviews the psychological, social, economic, and legal consequences of divorce, and examines how children's risk or resilience is predicted by interparental conflict, relationships with both parents, financial strain, legal/physical custody, and other factors."--Jacket
