Divorced, Without Children

Solution Focused Therapy with Women at Midlife

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Women divorced at midlife without children are a group that is "out of sync" in a society that is still primarily a "married, mothering" world. This book explores the clinical issues, dilemmas, and challenges for women in this role. The book presents a solution focused, relational/constructionist clinical approach and therapeutic techniques for working with these women. Application of clinical techniques and case examples are presented, and new concepts for women's recovery and development such as role innovation, meaning modification, autonomous competence, and an expanded family life cycle are also suggested in the book.
