Recent findings from research and clinical practice indicate that it is not necessarily the presence of marital conflict that adversely affects children  but  more specifically  how disagreements are handled within the family. Reviewing the now extensive literature on the subject  this volume examines the impact of familial discord on children and presents strategies for clinicians to help parents resolve differences more effectively for the sake of their children  as well as their marriage.  Chapters consider the long-term impact of marital discord on children and relate this to what is known about the risk for the development of psychopathology. Reviewing the research on marital interactions in both distressed and nondistressed couples  the authors consider conflict styles of distressed marriages  the bases for marital distress  long-term consequences of marital anger and apathy  and better ways of fighting. The emotional  behavioral  and even physiological impact of interadult and interparental expressions of anger on bystanding children are also examined.  Other highlights include:  Models of different styles of family and marital relations  Up-to-date research on family processes  Illustrative case examples  Descriptions of childrens responses in both laboratory and field studies  Important  bottom-line prescriptions for therapists  educators  and parents  While the review of the scientific evidence on these important questions is exhaustive  the information is presented so that it is accessible to students and parents as well as clinicians  researchers  and academics. This text functions as a resource for clinicians  providing information on clinical processes and outcomes; a guidebook for educators  policy makers  and parents especially in terms of the treatment of issues pertaining to constructive versus destructive methods of dispute; and a scholarly reference for academics and researchers in the child and family areas  offering a state-of-the-art review of current literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276651356213,"sku":"ByrdShop_0898623030","price":64.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780898623031.jpg?v=1780559160","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/children-and-marital-conflict-the-impact-of-family-dispute-and-resolution-9780898623031","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
