Children and Divorce: The Advantages of Group Therapy

Abstract: A 9 page overview of the many impacts divorces inflicts on children. Emphasizes that group therapy can go a long way toward resolving these impacts and in optimizing child welfare. Concludes, however, that group therapy, however, is just as dependent on outside factors as is any other type of behavioral therapy. The variation in effectiveness is largely dependent on a number of factors such as the degree of conflict which exists prior to and after the divorce, the custody arrangements, the degree to which the estranged parent stays involved with the children, and the age a child is when divorce occurs. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
