Learning from Divorce How to Take Responsibility, Stop the Blame, Move on

Divorce as a Developmental Process, a Period of Transformation and Growth "Learning from Divorce is empathic without being maudlin, optimistic without being Pollyanna-ish, and hopeful without being unrealistic. It's a must-read for anyone who is divorcing or has already divorced." -Sue A. Waters, M.A., founder, Parenting After Divorce, Denver, Colorado "Coates and LaCrosse combine their collective years of experience and apply their insights, intellect, spirituality, and training to bring us this wonderful book, which will benefit everyone who has suffered through a failed relationship. Using their work to understand the dynamics of failed relationships brings promise of enriched present and future intimate partnerships." -Hon. Arline S. Rotman (ret.), Massachusetts Probate and Family Court "Following divorce, many find their confidence shattered, yet most remarry. This book restores shaken confidence and gently confronts and fortifies the reader with how to fine-tune judgment and self-esteem-the keys to more successful future relationships." -Carla B. Garrity and Mitchell A. Baris, coauthors, Caught in the Middle "At a time when people are feeling totally lost, Christie Coates and Robert LaCrosse have provided a personal road map, applicable to all, for finding a way back to themselves. Therapists and mediators will find this book to be a valuable resource for their clients as they traverse this most difficult time in their lives." -Arnold Shienvold, Ph.D., psychologist and mediator, past president of the Association for Conflict Resolution and the Academy of Family MediatorsCoates, Christine is the author of 'Learning from Divorce How to Take Responsibility, Stop the Blame, Move on', published 2003 under ISBN 9780787964160 and ISBN 0787964166.
