- Abstract
The article presents an abstract from the book "Separating Together: How Divorce Transforms Families," by A.J. Stewart, A.P. Copeland, N.L. Chester, J.E. Malley and N.C. Barenbaum. This volume reports on a longitudinal study of 160 divorcing families with school aged children in the Boston area. The researchers are all psychologists, now based in five different universities. The focus of the study was to examine the effects of divorce on adults and children. It was a "within group design," which followed families 18 months after separation. The sample was obtained through searching public divorce dockets in five counties in the greater Boston area. A family had to have at least one child in the 6-12 years age range. The subjects were mostly European-Americans, and half were Catholic, they had been married on average 12 years, and the average age of the parent was 34 years. The book is divided into four parts. The article also discusses the major findings of the study, which is one of the parts of the book.
