CHOICE Review

Anyone working with children of divorce will find Hodges's book useful. The writing is even and the discussions of research literature with implications for clinical intervention should be quite helpful for clinicians. Hodges is on the psychology faculty at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Of particular interest are the chapters on some of the ``newer'' areas such as mediation, visitation, and school-based intervention. Where the literature is sparse-in such areas as joint custody, postdivorce intervention, and remarriage-Hodges has managed to glean the few articles that exist from the literature. The strongest point in Hodges's text is the linking of the literature discussion with the implications for clinical intervention. Recommended for all libraries.-A. Brazer-Rush, SUNY College at Oswego
