Description

Mastering Crucial Moments in Separation and Divorce: A Multidisciplinary Guide to Excellence in Practice and Outcome Kate Scharff ISBN 9781634254083

What makes a divorce professional truly exceptional? This clear, practical guide answers that question through a compelling mix of theory, real-life examples, and actionable techniques. The authors begin with the idea that divorce should not be seen as a failure, but as a developmental crisis in a couple’s life. Scharff and Herrick then examine the role of helping professionals, offering a structured roadmap for supporting clients in reaching durable agreements under stressful conditions.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to the field—attorney, mental health professional, financial advisor, or allied specialist—you’ll discover fresh insights on familiar concepts, innovative approaches, exercises for individual and group learning, and a wealth of tools to enhance your professional practice.

Key topics covered include:

  • Understanding what a "developmental crisis" is and why it matters for divorce professionals

  • The human relationship to change, the process of transformation, and their relevance in client work

  • The Three Conditions for Positive Change, essential for helping clients make informed, constructive decisions

  • Techniques for working effectively with clients who are passive, positional, or high-conflict

  • The "7 Factors" to guide decision-making and communication in challenging moments
