This impressive little book truly lives up to its title. Dr. Bernet is a child and adolescent psychiatrist who is a professor at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. His co-author Judge Ash has extensive family court involvement and has pioneered the use of "parenting plans" in Tennessee courts. The authors bring together a thoughtful, pragmatic and well-integrated overview of the impact of divorce, with a solution-focused emphasis. They acknowledge that their primary audience is "parents who are divorcing or already divorced and are hoping to rear their children in a healthy manner" (page 1). As such, this is a concise and easily read work, but the depth of the authors' experience and wisdom means that this is also a very useful book for the various professionals addressed in their title. Others, such as extended family members and educators, might also find this book helpful.

From the authors: We both hope that you will find The Fragile Alliance helpful as you undertake the difficult but rewarding task of treating adolescents in emotional crisis. The presentation continues to be basically a clinical, "how to" approach offered with the understanding that our suggestions reflect to some extent idiosyncrasies of the authors and will not fit every therapist. However, the suggestions and directions are presented with the hope that they will stimulate thought and provide some sense of direction which individual therapists can then modify to fit their particular patient population and their own personal style. Some of our material, which did not fit comfortably in the text of the chapters, has been organized into sidebars. This material, located in boxes, is the kind of information that a supervisor might say as an aid to a student. The clinical material has been disguised. The names and other identifying data have been changed. Most of the clinical vignettes are composites of several actual cases.
