5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding book!, April 5, 2008
This review is from: Impasses Of Divorce: The Dynamics and Resolution of Family Conflict (Paperback)
This book offers unusual insight into the nature and causes of entrenched conflict in divorce. Although written roughly twenty years ago, it continues to lead the field by providing a logical construct through which to view divorce-related conflict, lucid examples, and thoughtful analysis. Johnston's experience, understanding, and knowledge shine through. The best book on this subject that I have found to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a seminal book on divorce conflict, January 30, 2007
This review is from: Impasses Of Divorce: The Dynamics and Resolution of Family Conflict (Paperback)
This is an excellent book to describe high-conflict divorce and how it is perpetuated. The three-tiered model of psychological, relational, and systemic conflict is very useful in identifying the locus of a conflict and determining the most appropriate intervention. Johnston's work is also based on an actual study done in California with 100 high-conflict families, which makes this book stand apart from all the other divorce books that are based on the authors' experience.
