This Is The Best Book On Counseling Single Parents Around

Counseling Single Parents is one of the best, if not the best, books available on this topic. The authors approach the topic from a positive stance, emphasizing the strengths and resources of these families. In addition, they bring forth a solid questioning of the past research findings that conclude pathological problems among the children of single parent households. There are chapters on divorce, being a single parent from a psychological, social, and sexual point point of view, making transitions, healthy single parent households, family-school linkages, and single parents and the workplace. The authors then present and counter traditional family therapist assumptions about this type of family system, concluding with a social constructionist therapeutic model
