Reviews

Lawyer Belli and California psychologist Krantzler are both experienced in counseling people who confront the myriad problems of divorce. In the introduction to this minutely detailed guide, they tell how they themselves overcame the traumas of failed marriages (Belli's three, and the fourtha "footnote"quickly annulled; Krantzler's one) and ultimately re-wed successfully. The authors seemingly cover all aspects of divorce, starting with suggestions for avoiding the breakup, if possible. There follows advice on financial arrangements, protecting children from the hurts and anxieties of separation, arranging custody, dealing with loneliness when suddenly single, etc. Belli and Krantzler emphasize that it is wrong to mistrust or back off from a promising relationship, but they caution readers to guard against possible hazardsphysical or mental abuse, incurable diseases like herpes and AIDScaused by intimacy with a new partner. The book is an excellent resource. 75,000 first printing; first serial to Cosmopolitan; author tour.

Co-authored by a well-known therapist and an attorney, and hence covering all the legal and psychological aspects of the topic, this book is required reading for anyone contemplating a divorce. Belli draws on his own life experience as a four-time divorce and a divorce attorney as he guides the reader through the legal intricacies. Advice from therapist Krantzler, drawn from his earlier works on the divorce experience, helps normalize what for many seems a painfully idiosyncratic event. The vignettes of divorces of the rich and famous lend nothing to the rest of the book, but readers needing sound, well-written, and practical advice will find it here. John M.
