Beskrivning
Why do parents stop having contact with their children after separation and divorce? How does this falling out of touch affect them and their children, and what can noncustodial parents do to maintain contact? This book offers a new perspective for parents who are "out of touch" by exploring what the loss of contact means in their lives as well as the lives of their children. Greif presents the portraits of parents pushed away by the other parent or by their children after painful and emotional divorces. He discusses the emotional, legal and public policy issues involved for divorced parents and their children.

"Geoffery Greif's Out of Touch is a powerful book that captures the complexity of a common and many-sided domestic drama. Greif manages to evoke empathy for all involved, mothers, fathers and children, while effectively illustrating the different issues each confronts. The narratives are vivid enough to detail the many twists and turns that lead one parent to 'lose touch,' and Greif's analysis is rich enough to stand alone. Together, complemented byinsightful policy recommendations, they make for a book that anyone who has personal or professional interest in what happens to families after divorce will want to read."--Theodore Cohen, Ohio WesleyanUniversity"In Out of Touch, Dr. Greif continues as the harbinger for single parents.... I found the concrete self-help actions based on 180 responses and the interviews conducted to be most helpful both as a social worker and a single parent. He also astutely provides children caught between parents with 10 helpful suggestions of how they might get back in touch with their parents or at least themselves."--Susan C.
