Abstract
Parental divorce is the issue of most concern for children. The purpose of this article is to describe interventions for children from divorced family. Literature review and references look at divorce groups from multiple perspectives so as to include as many diverse issues as possible. Group counseling helps students understand the wide variety of different issues that arise in the context of groups, helps with universality, and brings support and healing to the very essence of their life. The overall purpose, to empower students to make healthy adjustments in their lives given the immense life changes, is well served by group counseling. Measurable goals and evaluation methods insure a high degree of rigor in the process. Finally, 9 sessions are spelled out in detail including clear objectives, necessary materials and specific strategies so as to insure success in realizing the purpose of the group. Results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that the interventionist model developed by the researcher was effective in improving psychological adjustment (P<0/01). Children of divorce participating sessions succeeded to overcome the negative effects of parental divorce through learning new skills. It is recommended that parents, school counselors and educational authorities benefit the study findings in order to help increase the adjustment in children of divorce.
Highlights
Change of family structure is associated with creating stress and pressure for all family members
When family structure changes due to divorce, social isolation may happen to all family members [2]
Given that all assumptions were met for all the study variables, multivariate analysis of variance was used to examine between-group differences in psychological components
Summary
Change of family structure is associated with creating stress and pressure for all family members. Change of family structure often leads to increased economic and social problems and probability of low psychological adjustment among family members [1]. Divorce and living in a single parent family is more often associated with an increase in the stressful events, and this causes adjustment problems in children [7]. Some research such as Amato [4, 2]., Hetherington and Kelly [8], Kelly and Emery [9] have shown that in general, children of divorce have more behavioral and emotional problems compared to normal children. These studies have shown that children of divorce have lower school performance and more communication problems than children from normal families
