Reviews'This pioneering work fills an important gap: For a long time we have been waiting for guidance based on verified data in order to be able to deal with parental-child relationships objectively, especially in cases of family breakdown.' -Jose Torres, Professor at University of Malaga "This is an extraordinary compendium of key research gathered into one place. It will be a critical resource for a wide variety of readers from college students to graduate school students to clinicians, to those involved in the courts with families." -Patricia Papernow, psychologist, author, teacher, consultant, Director of Institute for Stepfamily Education "Grounded in a wide range of research and draws implications that interest a general audience on current topics. The book's material has direct implications for public policy regarding family law, divorce, and child custody. Nielsen frames these issues in a clever and catchy manner that make the book an ideal choice for academic courses, with appeal to a much wider general audience." Richard Warshak, clinical and research psychologist and author
