This book is an integration of the study of trauma, divorce, and separation impacted by domestic violence, substance abuse, and mental illness. While the original research on divorce took place at roughly the same time as the field of trauma, social scientists did not integrate an understanding of trauma into their understanding of domestic violence and divorce. During divorce, such families are impacted by a history of traumatic exposure to abuse and require court intervention that cannot be addressed by mediation or alternative dispute resolution. They require a trauma-informed interdisciplinary response. The text also discusses gender bias against women in the courts and the gender bias task force movement.
