"I am proud to recommend Dr. JoAnne Pedro-Carroll's new book,
Putting Children First: Proven Parenting Strategies for Helping
Children Thrive Through Divorce. It is very readable, but
incorporates a vast amount of research as well as the author's own
extensive clinical experience. Today, when so many children suffer
the problems created by their parent's divorce, parents and the
professionals who work with them during the transitions relating to
divorce will find this book a great guide to helping their children
cope more successfully."
-Robert J. Haggerty, M.D. former president of The W. T. Grant
Foundation and The American Academy of Pediatrics
"Putting Children First provides an abundance of useful information
for parents who are divorced, thinking about divorce, or in the
process of divorcing. JoAnne Pedro-Carroll is a highly respected
psychologist, researcher, and developer of programs for children.
She draws on scientific research as well as her own clinical
experience to provide clear guidelines for parents based on the
best available evidence about what works. I strongly recommend this
book to parents as well as mental health and legal professionals
who work with children from divorced families."
-Paul R. Amato, Arnold and Bette Hoffman Professor of Family
Sociology and Demography, Pennsylvania State University
"This book provides tremendously valuable insight and information
about a child's thoughts and feelings and practical advice to
parents, counselors and therapists dealing with the trauma
accompanying divorce proceedings. Dr. Pedro- Carroll describes the
fears and concerns of children and clearly articulates a sensitive
way for parents to approach these issues so that families can move
forward with their lives in a healthy way."
-Judge Sondra Miller, Director, NYS Unified Court System Office of
Matrimonial and Family Law, and former Justice, Appellate Division
of the NYS Supreme Court.
"By listening to children and combining a quarter-century of
experience with the results of extensive research, Dr.
Pedro-Carroll shares invaluable insights into the thoughts and
feelings of children who experience what they often call "my
divorce."...The guidance offered by this book is unique because it
is based on an exceptional knowledge of what goes on in the minds
of children and because of the blended sensitivity and pragmatism
of the author."
-Lawrence F. Nazarian, MD, Clinical Professor of Pediatrics,
University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry
"I have known JoAnne Pedro-Carroll personally and professionally
for over 20 years. She clearly is one of the country's top divorce
experts. She stands alone in her combination of ground breaking
research, keen clinical insights, and unmatched sensitivity to
children's struggles through divorce. Her reputation alone will
garner great interest in the book. Her knowledge and emotional
understanding will surely keep this book on the shelves of divorced
parents, therapists, lawyers, and bookstores for years to
come."
-Robert E. Emery, Professor of Psychology
