What Reviewers Say About
Mom's House, Dad's House for Kids
 
"I am pleased to offer wholehearted support for Dr. Isolina Ricci's newest book “Mom's House, Dad's House for Kids”.  Dr. Ricci has taken difficult topics and presented solutions for kids who are lost in the middle of their parents' separation or divorce.  We will recommend this book in our Kids' Turn workshops conducted in six San Francisco Bay Area counties."
Claire Barnes, Executive Director Kids' Turn  
Mom’s House, Dad’s House for Kids is a wonderful book, full of common sense, practical advice, and above all, love. It will help every child troubled by a divorce, separation, or other family problem. This is a much-needed tool to support and guide children, as well as parents."
Riane Eisler author of “The Chalice and The Blade” and “Tomorrow's Children”
"Dr. Ricci's book is a must read for children whose parents are separating or going through a divorce.  No other book gives children the information they need and as well as practical tools to handle the fallout from the divorce.  Indeed, the book is also a must read for parents to enable them to understand how their children can cope with that fallout." 
Justice Donald B. King (Ret.)

What Reviewers Say About
Mom's House, Dad's House

"This is an upbeat, wise, eminently practical guide for divorcing parents and the professionals who help them. Highly recommended."
—Judith Wallerstein, Ph.D., author, Second Chances

"Specifically geared to meet the needs of today's parents, this is the definitive hands-on resource for all people dealing with the difficult, often heartbreaking experience of ending an intimate relationship--and the effects it has on their children. Filled with real-life examples, helpful self-tests, and step-by-step guidelines, this book offers compassionate, common-sense advice."
—Juvenile and Family Court Journal

". . . the new edition is even better than the first — if that is possible. What was a classic has now become one of the defining texts in the field. It is must reading for any parent transiting divorce and any professional who seeks to help them."
—Family and Conciliation Courts Review

"In seventeen years of family practice, I've given many books to my parent clients, but none helped them heal like Mom's House, Dad's House. If you want to strengthen the heart of your family and come out of the divorce process a stronger, wiser and more peaceful parent--this book is your friend."
—John Kydd, family law attorney and Past President, Association of Family and Conciliation Courts

"Mom's House, Dad's House is sensible, sensitive, and amazingly comprehensive: an invaluable resource from a pioneer in this field."
—Riane Eisler, author, The Chalice and the Blade, Sacred Pleasure, The Partnership Way

"For 17 years, I have insisted that hundreds of my clients read and use Mom's House, Dad's House, the 'Dr. Spock' of joint parenting books. The revised edition is a must-have resource manual."
—Joel Edelman, lawyer, mediator, counselor, and author, The Tao of Negotiation

"This is a wonderful book. In clear and eloquent language, Isolina Ricci charts a constructive course for divorcing parents. The chief benefactors of this modern classic will be the children."
—Richard Louv, author of Childhood's Future and The Web of Life

"This book should be a required textbook for every divorcing parent. If both parents would read even designated portions and have meaningful dialogue, it could result in the substantial reduction of stress in what is very often the most difficult period in one's life. At the same time it could help avoid or reduce the traumatic effects that divorce usually causes to the children."
—Michael J. Ostrow, President, American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers

"Mom's House, Dad's House is a wonderful resource for parents before and after separation, providing guidance about how to maintain their roles as parents so as to minimize the effect of the separation on their children. This book gives parents a roadmap of the problems which can arise, how to resolve them and, indeed, how to avoid them."
—Justice Donald B. King, California Court of Appeal (Retired)
