The Good Divorce

Based on two decades of groundbreaking research, The Good Divorce presents the surprising finding that in more than 50 percent of divorces couples end their marriages, yet preserve their families. Dr. Ahrons shows couples how they can move beyond the confusing, even terrifying, early stages of breakup and learn to deal with the transition from a nuclear to a "binuclear" family-a family that spans two households and continues to meet the needs of children.
