Customer Reviews

Excellent overview of an important topic

I think that this book lays out the critical issues in understanding the consequences of marital conflict on the lives of children. In my opinion, the balance of theory -- to get you thinking -- and actual research findings -- so that you know the big picture of what is really going with children -- is great. I disagree heartily with the previous reviewer that this book is lightweight. Also the citations are NOT just gratuitous "I'm justifying what I just said." They are also there to suggest to an interested reader **further food for thought.** That is an important distinction.
