Description:

Divorce is never just a legal process—it’s a layered experience that can unravel a person’s identity, stability, and sense of belonging. In this training, clinicians will gain a comprehensive framework for understanding the psychological dimensions of divorce and how to support clients navigating its many complexities.

Objectives:

1. Differentiate between the emotional, financial, familial, and logistical dimensions of divorce and analyze how each contributes to psychological distress and treatment needs in therapy.

2. Identify and describe the various legal processes of divorce (e.g., litigation, mediation, collaborative divorce, pro se filings), and evaluate how each process influences client stress levels, therapeutic goals, and family dynamics.

3. Develop clinically appropriate interventions to support clients navigating divorce, tailored to the specific type(s) of divorce they are experiencing and the legal context of their case.
