«For Better or For Worse: Divorce Reconsidered» is the social essay by E. Mavis Hetherington and John Kelly, published by W. W. Norton & Company in paperback.
It analyzes divorce as a life process rather than a single event: it distinguishes types of marriage at higher risk of breakdown, shows that women and men experience it differently, and points to «windows of change» for transforming adversity into an opportunity for personal and family growth.
The book consists of 318 pages, is written in English and was published in 2003.
A particularly useful read for people facing or studying divorce, especially parents concerned about their children.
Admiral of the Fleet Sir John Donald Kelly was a Royal Navy officer. He served in the First World War as commanding officer of the cruiser HMS Dublin which came close to intercepting the German battlecruiser SMS Goeben. After the War he took charge of a naval force dispatched to strengthen the Mediterranean Fleet during the Chanak Crisis. After serving as Fourth Sea Lord and then commander of the 1st Battle Squadron, Kelly, known for his skill in personnel matters, was asked to take command of the Atlantic Fleet in the aftermath of the Invergordon Mutiny. He rapidly restored discipline and issued a report which was quite critical of the Admiralty Board's handling of the pay cuts issue in the first place. He went on to be Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth.
