This book is part of the CORY series to help children cope
with challenging issues. This version presents engaging
activities to help very young clients cope with divorce. Cory,
the central character in the story, helps children gradually
confront and process their feelings and reactions related
to the divorce. Therapeutic games, art, and other playful
activities are incorporated to lower the threat level of
therapy and engage children in treatment. Questions and reenforcers are woven throughout the story to captivate and
sustain the child’s interest in the story, and to evaluate and
encourage the child’s integration of the material. Includes a
reproducible story, activities, and detailed parent handouts.
Ages 4-8.
