Beyond Divorce Casualties: Reunifying the Alienated Family

By Douglas Darnall

The companion to Darnall's bestselling Divorce Casualties, Beyond Divorce Casualties is a workbook for severely alienated children and their parents. The book describes the how and why of unification therapy, how to prepare for reunification, how to effectively work with attorneys, mediators, parent coordinators and counselors, and even how to say "goodbye" if reunification is not possible. This book also provides many real life examples of alienating behavior, exercises, and specific instructions for how to change your feelings and behavior. Importantly, the book's underlying assumption is that you have the power to change even if you have no power to change the other parent.

It is about time for answers

It is very distressing to see so many families that are victims of alienation and not having better answers to help with reunification. This book offers direction and answers for helping these families. The book gives very concrete strategies for bring about change. As a clinician it is very helpful to have this book as a resource to recommend to my clients. This is a great book that I recommend strongly for both therapists and parents.
