Conjoint mother-daughter treatment: a beginning phase of psychotherapy with adolescent daughters of divorce.
Recent reports suggest that divorce is a significant developmental stress for most children. Preventive intervention programs aimed at mitigating both short- and long-term divorce sequelae for children are now widespread. Considerably less attention has been paid to youngsters in need of clinical services years after parental separation. In this paper, adolescent daughters of divorced parents are described in the context of a proposed conjoint mother-daughter intervention.
