LGBTQ Divorce and Relationship Dissolution: Psychological and Legal Perspectives and Implications for Practice

Editat de Abbie E. Goldberg, Adam P. Romero
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 ian 2019
What unique challenges face LGBTQ individuals in relationships or who are separating or divorcing, especially now that same-sex couples may marry? What issues might complicate the ending of relationships when children, multiple partners, or multiple parents are present? How do gender, gender transition, ethnicity, immigration status, economic status, geography, and other characteristics shape the experiences of divorcing or separating LGBTQ people? Finally, how can therapists and lawyers most effectively assist LGBTQ people whose relationships and families are dissolving? LGBTQ Divorce and Relationship Dissolution: Psychological and Legal Perspectives and Implications for Practice brings together social science and legal perspectives to examine the timely topic of relationship dissolution and divorce among sexual and gender minorities. The first edited book to tackle this topic in an informed, comprehensive, and interdisciplinary matter, this volume gathers and expands current knowledge on topics such as LGBTQ people's relationship and dissolution patterns; the divorce and child custody rules and processes that now apply to many LGBTQ families; and the surrounding political and cultural environment in the United States. It will also address practical issues such as mediation with same-sex couples who are separating or divorcing, financial planning, and family therapy for sexual minority parents and their children in the context of divorce/dissolution. With chapters contributed by leading scholars and practitioners from law, political science, psychology, sociology, and other disciplines, LGBTQ Divorce and Relationship Dissolution will be an invaluable resource for academics, practitioners, policymakers, and LGBTQ people. It will also be of interest to students in psychology, counseling, law, and LGBTQ and gender studies.

Recenzii

A fascinating read that fills a big gap in the literature and lays the groundwork for further theoretical, empirical, and professional inquiries
This book delivers the goods like no other -- all 600+ pages of it.[1] It is an essential guide for experienced practitioners in particular--lawyers or mental health professionals with dispute resolution training or experience...This book is long overdue. Its contribution to the field cannot be overstated. I for one am so grateful to the editors for making it happen.
