Divorce at midlife: psychic dangers of the liminal period. Part II. Clinical considerations

Maturitas
S KrystalL Catron

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a clinical investigation into middle divorce. The second of a two part series, it explores the impact of liminality: the "betwixt and between" state often found among a newly-separated of all ages. This state may occur at more than one point in the divorce process, and is associated with heightened trauma. A therapeutic intervention procedure, the divorce ritual, is suggested as a means of ameliorating the effects of liminality.
