A therapeutic model to enhance children's adjustment to divorce: a case example

Article Abstract:

A study of the effect of post-divorce conflict between parents on children suggests a therapeutic model based on negotiating understanding between the custodial and non-custodial parents. The model focuses on defining the children's relationship with their step parents and understanding the new relationships in the post-divorce family. The study is based on the case history of a 15 year old girl, whose biological parents led a turbulent, conflict-ridden life after their divorce.

What a difference a measure makes: parental-separation effect on school grades, not academic achievement

Article Abstract:

School grades are likely to be negatively affected by parental separation than academic achievement scores. This hypothesis was tested using data from 1,688 seventh- and ninth-grade students, revealing the importance of the choice of an indicator of a complex concept such as school success. It is indicated that the effect of parental separation on academic success is underestimated when the focus is on academic achievement and school grades are not considered.
