Dr. Stahl has published three full length books in his career. The first two were geared toward
divorce professionals, while his latest is a guide for newly divorced parents.
Dr. Stahl's book, Parenting After Divorce Resolving Conflicts and
Meeting Your
Children's Needs (Second Edition), is designed
for parents and therapists who help them. Research shows that one of the biggest causes of
difficulty for children is their parents' conflict following separation and divorce. While many
books for divorced parents are designed to help parents learn to coparent, Dr. Stahl wrote
Parenting After Divorce to help those parents who are in greater conflict. A primary focus
is on helping parents understand their level of conflict and learn to use their parenting plan to solve their conflicts. There is a section on "parallel parenting", designed to help parents learn to effectively
parent their children regardless of the quality of their communication and cooperation with
their ex-spouse. Dr. Stahl also has gathered advice and feelings from children themselves
designed to help parents learn about the effects of their conflict on their children. Often required
reading in court-mandated divorce education classes, Parenting
After Divorce includes chapters on: Conflict, Communication, Co-Parenting and Competition;
It's Time for a Truce; Your Child is Not a Percentage; Your Child's Childhood; Talking to Your
Children; Children Aren't Property; Parenting Responsibly on Your Own; Taking Care of
Yourself; Resolving Parent Conflicts; Dealing with Special Problems; Dealing with the Courts;
Children's Thoughts and Feelings (a chapter by children).
