About this title

About the Author

Gerald s. Mayer, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist and a certified alcohol and drug addiction counselor practicing in Phoenix, Arizona.Sensitized by his own experience, Jerry has long been concerned by the deep pain and confusion many men experience at the time of separation and during a divorce process, especially when relationships with children are affected.

From Booklist

Mayer makes a worthy addition to the ranks of advice books for men. Statistically, men are less likely to get custody of their children after a divorce, and even a committed father faces difficulty in maintaining healthy relations with his children after a divorce. Mayer counsels on dealing with such emotional problems fathers experience as guilt, anxiety, and jealousy, and he proffers tips on handling more mundane concerns, such as access, communication, and time allotment. He emphasizes dealing with situations rationally rather than giving in to sorrow and depression, and his tone is that of an understanding friend who has been there and has the strengths learned from his experience to offer the newly divorced dad. Because of its strategies for keeping the divorced father's emotions on an even keel as well as its advice on parenting, Mayer's effort is sure to be of great value to many readers. Mike Tribby
