This volume is intended for legal and mental health professionals--mediators, psychologists, social workers, counselors--involved with helping divorcing parents avoid extensive litigation and instead work towards the best interests of the children. Fourteen contributed chapters discuss the background, legal standards, required competencies, and basic strategies for conducting parenting coordinating before offering detailed guidance on the practice, special issues and populations, and the future.
