The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce: The 25 Year Landmark Study

A quarter century ago, Wallerstein, widely considered the world's foremost authority on the effects of divorce on children, began talking to a group of 131 children whose parents were going through a divorce. She has followed them through their adolescence into adulthood, and is here joined by Julia M. Lewis (psychology, San Francisco State U.) and Sandra Blakeslee, a science correspondent for The New York Times, to report in detail on seven of them, now in their late twenties to early forties, as representative of the group and of children of divorce in general.
