Women, Divorce, and Suicide

Herman, Sonya J.

Journal of Divorce, 1, 2, 107-116, W 77

Taped interviews from 200 women shows divorce as a traumatic life crisis for women that leades to depression and feelings of hopelessness, if not suicide. Emotional stress from separation and divorce for women is compounded by inadequate role development which prevents their subsequent integration into society. (Author)
