Based on Dr. Ahrons' renowned Binuclear Family Study, The Good Divorce uses vivid, in-depth examples to show how couples can move beyond the confusing early stages of a breakup and learn to deal with the transition from a nuclear to a binuclearr family, a family that spans two households and continues to meet the needs of its children. Dispelling the myth that divorce inevitably leaves emotionally troubled children in its wake, The Good Divorce changes the way we think about divorce by reconfirming our commitment to children and families. It is a powerful antidote for the millions of divorced parents—and their families, lawyers, therapists, and policymakers—who are tired of hearing only the negative stories.
