Critics Review
“Dr. Rodman provides sophisticated solutions and strategies to each of the psychological curve balls that can emerge during the divorce process, and discusses how to modify each message to best-fit a child’s given age, developmental phase and idiosyncratic personality. Overall, the book provides a very concrete and pragmatic script that empowers the parents to guide their family out of the turmoil, through the adversity, and toward rich healing and growth.” –Psychology Today
“Solid gold advice. With years of experience guiding parents during and after divorce, Dr. Rodman has distilled her knowledge into a down-to-earth, practical, and well-grounded guide. If you want to be prepared for the toughest issues, and ensure your children’s psychological health, get one copy for yourself and one for your ex and keep it handy. You will return to it many times.” ~Dr. Richard A. Warshak, author of Divorce Poison
