| Abstract
|
:
|
"The goal of every legal and mental health professional working in family law is to improve outcomes in the best interests of the child. This book assists readers in meeting this critical goal. Developmental psychology for Family Law Professionals serves as a practical application of developmental theory to the practice of family law." "This volume helps legal and mental health professionals gain a broader understanding of each child's unique needs when in the midst of family crisis. It presents developmental theories and techniques with which professionals might better assess the developmental needs, synchronies, and trajectories of a given child. The author presents guidelines for addressing the changing developmental needs of children who have experienced crises such as divorce, separation, relocation, abuse, and much more."--Jacket.
