Divorce is difficult for all family members, but for children who have to deal with parental conflict, transitioning between two homes, overwhelming and confused feelings, and a host of other challenges, divorce can be particularly tough. Children are often anxious or reluctant to talk about the divorce and other complex issues.
In Creative Interventions for Children of Divorce, award-winning author and international keynote speaker Liana Lowenstein outlines her most innovative tools including therapeutic games, art, puppets, and stories, designed to help children safely express their thoughts and feelings, and learn ways to cope.
This creative collection presents easy-to-use reproducible activities for use in therapeutic or school settings on essential issues:
• Parental conflict
• Transitioning between two homes
• Feelings of anger, sadness, guilt
• Reunification fantasies
• Loyalty conflicts
• Parental estrangement
• Alienation
• Dating and remarriage
The book also includes essential theoretical information, key guidelines for practitioners, reproducible parent questionnaire and handouts, creative rapport-building exercises, innovative assessment activities, ten-week group curriculum, interventions for family sessions, sample treatment plan, useful forms, and more!
