Abstract

Remarriage and cohabitation after divorce are becoming societal norms. Given the increasing numbers of these couples, mental health professionals will encounter them in their clinical practice. There are unique issues associated with remarriage (e.g., role and boundary ambiguity, unrealistic expectations) that can hinder the family reorganization process and exacerbate typical communication problems experienced by couples. Therefore, therapists must have knowledge of these challenges to provide the most effective treatment. A brief overview of the remarriage and stepfamily literature, and recommendations for clinicians are presented.
