Back to Catalogue
By Dr Phil Watts

This analysis of the issues raised when parents separate is useful for parents, lawyers and other professionals. Learn about the family break-up as a psychological process, developmental issues for children, how parental behaviour impacts outcomes for children, processes for reaching agreement and how to make shared care and other arrangements effective for all concerned.


"Dr Watts’ book serves as a timely reminder of just how important it is to keep your children's happiness and wellbeing as the focal point of the separation process. He answers questions you may not have thought to ask, providing a range of practical suggestions for a variety of different situations. It should be required reading for any parent or professional person working with families during separation". Robin Bourgeois, Family Court Lawyer
