Despite the fact that children are negatively impacted by family separation and divorce (Amato, 2001 Amato, P. R. 2001. Children of divorce in the 1990s: An update of the Amato & Keith 1991 meta-analysis. Journal of Family Psychiatry, 15: 355–370. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]; Dreman & Shemi, 2004 Dreman, S. and Shemi, R. 2004. Perception of family structure, state-anger, and parent-child communication and adjustment of children of divorced parents. Journal of Divorce and Remarriage, 41: 47–68. [Taylor & Francis Online] , [Google Scholar]; Kelly, 2000 Kelly, J. B. 2000. Children's adjustment in conflicted marriage and divorce: A decade review of research. Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescence Psychiatry, : 963–967. [Crossref], [PubMed] , [Google Scholar]) there is a paucity of information regarding evidence-based social work practice with children coping with family disruption. In order to address this gap, the authors describe the process and outcomes of a quasi-experimental evaluation (N = 79) designed to reduce the behavioral, emotional, and academic problems that children often face when experiencing divorce or parental separation. Results of data analysis (paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and analysis of variance) suggest (p < .05) that the intervention is effective in helping children cope with family disruption
