ABSTRACT

Many important adaptive tasks face the postdivorce family (Kaslow & Schwartz, 1987; Peck & Manocherian, 1989; Schwartz & Kaslow, 1997; Wallerstein & Kelly, 1980). The modified family must establish new boundaries and build effective communication strategies to thrive after the divorce.Forming a new family structure is often a difficult task, and many postdivorce families seek family therapy following marriage dissolution.
