Constructive Divorce: Procedural Justice And Sociolegal Reform

by Penelope Eileen Bryan

This well-researched, carefully constructed book discusses the benefits of improving procedural justice in divorce cases. It then scrutinizes how today's family law system measures up in terms of criteria based in social sciences, such as efficiency, bias, accuracy, consistency, respect and concern for disputants. Woven throughout are insights drawn from the social sciences literature and reflections on how psychology might best serve clients struggling with divorce.
