Abstract
As a group, children of divorced parents present more personal and behaviour problems than those who live in intact family environments. However, statistics mask the fact that children and adolescents respond in many different ways to the break-up of their parents’ marriage. In examining relation between divorce and children’s adjustment problems, current research has given up the pathogenic model in favour of models based on risk and resistance factors in an attempt to identify child variables and those of family processes and of the ecological context. This study presents a review of the research of the main risk and resistance factors related to child and adolescent adjustment problems in single-parent homes.
