Even those of us who have not experienced these events di- rectly have been touched by them through association with parents, friends, neighbors, or co-workers. Frequently, we have observed these individuals express a variety of negative emotions, including insecurity, anxiety, depression, fear, and anger. If children are involved, their par- ents' decisions and often dysfunctional maneuvers in this matter will most likely have a profound affect on them. One such decision will be with whom they will live. Although the great majority of children will live with their mothers following a divorce, this arrangement is no longer accepted as inevitable. Changes such as an ever-increasing num- ber of mothers with full-time out of home employment and research supporting the significance and competence of fathers in child rearing have led many observers to challenge the assumption of maternal supe- riority. These changes, as well as those related to the law and child cus- tody, for example the increased acceptability of a joint custody arrange- ment, have complicated the process of deciding where a child should live after his or her parents' divorce. Consequently, others are fre- quently called upon to assist in the decision making and render an opin- ion concerning custody and visitation. By and large these individuals will be members of the mental health profession.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45282276081815,"sku":"9781468474756","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781468474756.webp?v=1769301673","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-custody-of-children-a-behavioral-assessment-model-9781468474756","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
