Rather than emphasizing means and averages in looking at \"typical\" family reactions to divorce, authors David H. Demo and Mark A. Fine emphasize variability and change over time in the pre-divorce, divorce, and post-divorce process. The book′s three parts explore theoretical and methodological tools for studying divorce, the divorce process and its multiple pathways, and future directions in research. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes cutting-edge research on how children are affected by multiple transitions in family structure and parenting arrangements during the divorce process \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers the most common causes of divorce and how the family environment deteriorates during the years leading up to divorce \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides easy-to-understand descriptions and examples of how specific research methods can be used to study divorce \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers a dynamic theoretical model of divorce and how it is experienced by family members in a wide variety of family situations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses policy implications as well as directions for future theoretical, research, and clinical work in this vital area \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeyond the Average Divorce \u003c\/strong\u003eis intended as a core textbook for use in upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses in Family Stress and Divorce, Dysfunctional Families, Sociology of the Family, and Couples, Marriage, and Family Counseling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Demo,Mark Fine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1412926858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781412926850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sage Publications, Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 140","brand":"David Demo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587733663999,"sku":"9781412926850","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-the-average-divorce-david-demo-9781412926850","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
