Abstract:
Divorce is a situational crisis for Jewish families who experience old and new barriers to mastery of the crisis. Twenty-five years of experience led to the development of the Center for Divorcing Families, which is grounded in five fundamental concepts regarding the dynamics of divorce. These concepts dictate that services must empower individuals so they can restructure their families and maintain their connection to the Jewish community.
