As a clinical psychologist, I am grateful to have this book to recommend to my patients who are in or contemplating a divorced. In “The Truth about Children and Divorce”, Dr. Emery provides parents with an overview of the divorce research that is neither fatalistic or sugar coated.

From his years of clinical practice, he offers detailed and specific “scripts” of what to say to tell the children at different ages and in different situations (such as when there is an affair), thoughts on different custody schedules and advice about establishing a co-parenting relationship. Most importantly, Dr. Emery writes in the compassionate and personal voice of someone who has coached many a parent through the difficult road of separating their pain from their parenting, and who has traveled this difficult road himself.

If you only recommend one book, this should be it.
