Description: This landmark book examines the causes and consequences of divorce occurring during pregnancy or within a year of childbirth. Drawing from the experiences of seventeen women interviewed by the author, Women's Stories of Divorce at Childbirth illuminates their personal stories of trauma, grief, and anger with the insights of psychoanalytic theory, sociology, behavioral psychology, and infant research. This book will be extraordinarily helpful to counselors and mental health professionals, couples having difficulty with the transition to parenthood, new parents who are considering divorce, and survivors of divorce at childbirth.
