Minority and Ethnic Issues in the Divorce Process

By Craig A. Everett

This important book provides rare insights into the unique factors involved in the divorce process for minority and ethnic populations. An understanding of this area of growing concern will enrich the clinical skills of marriage and family therapists and will inspire researchers with ideas for further study into the needs and variables of minority and ethnic populations. Practitioners will discover ways in which minority and ethnic variables affect divorce patterns, and even more importantly, the unique emotional and systemic characteristics they present that must be considered in clinical and dispute resolution strategies. Contributors address such topics as the effects of living in single parent families and the importance of family and social networks.
