This book is a developmental model for highly effective practice in the multidisciplinary field of separation and divorce. Written by a clinical social worker and a psychologist, the authors wrote the book as a new point of entry, another vector for understanding how to help when human relationships falter. Separation and and/or divorce is the most hard enough and when children are involved the stakes are immeasurable. This book tries to address all of these issues in a non-confrontation or judgmental manner to help families work together for a successful resolve. There is also a fine line that an attorney must walk in their struggle to do their best with every client without judgment. This aspect is also addressed in the book.

Divorce doesn't have to define you – a reassuring illustrated guide for children navigating their parents' separation.Children of separating or divorcing parents often feel alone and alienated, as though no one understands what they're going through. They need reassurance that their feelings are normal, and age-appropriate answers to their many questions. But divorce is confusing and overwhelming – thinking and talking about it are hard, for kids and grown-ups alike.Kate Scharff, internationally renowned divorce therapist (and a child of divorce herself), addresses many of kids' common concerns, such as navigating life in two homes, feeling pressured to choose sides, and adjusting when parents date or remarry. Her central theme is the importance of parent-child communication, and she offers lots of tips for how kids can speak up constructively – even in the trickiest situations.With illustrations by Annika Le Large, We Need to Talk About Divorce is suitable for kids to read by themselves or with a parent. It's frank, honest, and open. While the author doesn't shy away from the painful aspects of family break-up, she also reassures readers that while divorce will always be a sad memory, it doesn't have to be a bad turning point. In fact, blended families and new beginnings can make lots of things easier over time.Part of Neon Squid's critically acclaimed series tackling subjects that are hard to talk about, for ages 10 and above.

Designed to help all professionals--lawyers, as well as mental health professionals, financial neutrals, etc.--who practice in the area of Collaborative Divorce, this book explains how marital dynamics (both conscious and unconscious), combined with the traumas of both the current divorce and those resulting from previous situations, will be re-enacted within the Collaborative process. If these go unaddressed, misunderstood or unmetabolized by the team, they can impede progress, create difficulty in team functioning, result in a compromised agreement, or cause a complete breakdown of the process itself. In presenting this framework for thinking about divorcing clients and how best to work with them, Scharff and Herrick make these key assumptions:The ways our clients think, feel, and behave are often driven by unconscious factorsThose unconscious factors play a strong, sometimes problematic role in the course of a Collaborative caseIt is only by developing an understanding of the dynamics underlying our clients' patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that we can help them to navigate the Collaborative process.The authors examine the psychological underpinnings of the Collaborative process itself (why we do what we do), the ways in which individual professionals and their teams are affected by the emotional make-ups of their clients, and the issues of assessment and technique. One might wonder how relevant it is to their divorce practice that the author venture into what might feel like psychotherapeutic terrain. The primary answer is that unless you understand all the reasons that a couple becomes a couple, you can't understand what happens to them as their marriage unravels.
