Published in 1969 by Bernard Steinzor, When Parents Divorce is a thought-provoking, unorthodox treatise on the emotional, psychological, and practical aspects of divorce. Steinzor, drawing on his work in The Healing Partnership, focuses on individual growth and emotional independence rather than on reconciling or “friendly” divorce arrangements that mask underlying conflict Kirkus Reviews.

The book challenges the common “friendly divorce” model, in which parents pretend to be cooperative for the sake of their children. Steinzor argues that such arrangements can be emotionally harmful, as parents who have hurt each other may unintentionally harm their children again in forced proximity. He advocates for honest emotional separation between parents, with minimal contact after custody is established, so children can develop based on reality rather than deception
