One would be hard pressed to find any American in 2014 who has not participated in some form of therapy at one time or another in their life. In 1993, Jim and Marsha think that they have escaped the tedium of matrimony but in reality they have become a bored, middle aged, attractive couple that has been together for 13 years, perhaps one year too long. They have reached a point in life where they have seemingly reached a plateau and…

Human service professionals working with divorced families should be prepared to encounter a wide variety of emotions and conflicts (McGoldrick, Carter & Garcia-Preto, 2011). Parents and children often experience a sense of loss, guilt, anger, and resentment. It is also important for professionals working with families to understand the legal and economic impacts that can occur. The goal of working with divorced families is to help the family transition from a nuclear to binuclear family, minimize the negative effects on children, and help the parents process the divorce in a healthy way (McGoldrick, Carter & Garcia-Preto, 2011). Clinicians can help families during divorce by providing useful information, teaching healthy conflict resolution techniques, and encouraging compromise by putting the children’s best interest first.…
