When the question of divorce arises, the therapist’s efforts should be directed toward clarifying the issues and alleviating the pathological behavior so that the patient may make healthier and more prudent choices. The ideal counseling situation is one in which the marital partners are seen conjointly by a therapist who has had no previous therapeutic experience with either partner. On the whole there is less psychiatric disturbance in children from broken homes than in those from intact but unhappy homes. (56 pp.)

Mutual Storytelling Technique
The Mutual Storytelling Technique is a method of therapeutic communication with children. In it, the therapist elicits a self-created story from the child, surmises its psychodynamic meaning, and then creates a story of his own using the same characters in a similar setting. The therapist’s story differs from that of the child in that he introduces healthier resolutions and maturer adaptations. (11 pp.)
