Abstract:

This article describes an eight-session group for families of separation and divorce that facilitates the transitioning process by enabling more effective communication. In each session, parents and children meet separately and then come together to do a joint activity that synthesizes the theme of that session. The group is thus structured to enhance both peer group and family identity.
