At time when separation and divorce are increasingly common, this book supplies much-needed insights into why some children survive change in families better than others.

Based on the landmark "Divorce After 40" study, Our Turn reveals that for a majority of women over 40, divorce is a catalyst for self-discovery and growth. Women share inspiring stories of how they have mapped new paths for their futures.

Questions about how children fare in divided families have become as perplexing and urgent as they are common. In this text on custody arrangements, developmental psychologist Eleanor Maccoby and legal scholar Robert Mnookin examine the social and legal realities of how divorcing parents make arrangements for their children.

The end of a marriage that was intended to be lasting and loving can be emotionally traumatic. Even though divorce is a singularly painful process, 50 percent of marriages will end this way. The feelings that arise from words like "failure," "blame," and "loneliness" make recovery from divorce difficult. The Divorce Recovery Sourcebook is an empathetic guide to help newly divorced people overcome the burdens of the past, better cope with the problems of today, and have a positive focus on the future.

Family life in modern societies is being transformed by high rates of divorce. Such changes have given rise to concerns that the quality of family life for children has deteriorated and that children are damaged by the choices their parents are making. It is possible, however, that children and families are more resilient than this. Rather than witnessing the end of the family and the end of contented childhood, we could be seeing the emergence of post-divorce families and new experiences of childhood based on these new arrangements.
