This supplemental text features excerpts from narrative essays written by 1,000 young adults whose parents are divorced, reflecting on their reactions to the divorce, pain, resilience, and
hope. The book begins with an overview of theory on the value of storytelling for people dealing with major losses, then uses the young peoples' voices to reinforce concepts from scholarly
research on divorce. The book can be used as a supplement for courses in human development, family studies, counseling psychology, and social work. This second edition contains new material on
the financial impact of divorce, plus a review of the Divorce Variability and Fluidity Model (DVFM) that predicts adjustment to divorce. There is more material on parenting classes and
mediation, and an expanded list of readings and web sites. Harvey is affiliated with the University of Iowa. Fine is affiliated with the University of Missouri. Annotation 穢2010 Book News,
