Customer Reviews:
Comprehensive divorce survival guide July 28, 2008 This is an ambitious book. Author Genevieve Clapp, Ph.D., tackles the divorce process from the practical to the emotional. She guides you through the initial breakup, the intense emotional aftermath, the return to single life and the challenges facing stepfamilies. Dr. Clapp also gives solid, actionable advice about co-parenting and helping your children handle the rupture in their lives. Although the book is hampered by endless repetition, and the constant citation of studies and research, this same weakness enables you to use it as a reference. You can read only the chapters that pertain to your situation and still get all the necessary information. getAbstract recommends Clapp's all-inclusive guide to anyone contemplating a breakup, in the midst of a divorce, or newly single.
A Great Resource for Those Going Through A Divorce July 26, 2006 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
My Mom picked up this book for me at a yard sale when I was in the very early phases of my seperation & divorce and I can't tell you what a lifesaver it was for me! It's a great all around resource that covers the many different aspects of divorce/divorce recover, and even some good basic advice on what to expect during the worst part of a divorce - the legal wrangeling phase. The book also has lots of good information on how to help your kids during through the challenging times of a divorce. I have given copy after copy to people who are going through divorces and they have all found it useful.

This book is a one-stop source for a very difficult reason to read a book...it's definately not to kill time. Since no one wants to read a book on how to divorce and start over...it's good that someone (Genevieve Clapp) took the time to make it organized and easy. Another good thing about this book is that it makes you evaluate or re-evaluate the decision to ever marry again. I think single women even considering marrying an 'at risk' guy should read it to see if it's worth the trouble.
