Abstract

Mothers who live apart from their children are often mistreated and misunderstood. Clinicians are increasingly called upon to treat this growing population. The author describes some of the key issues facing these mothers: money and child support, visitation, relations with the father, relations with the child, court involvement, and the impact of the social system. Suggestions for assisting them in a therapeutic relationship are offered.
