Divorce Won't HelpFirst published in 1948 by Harper and Brothers and here reprinted with both the introduction to the 1978 Liveright edition and a new introduction by M.L. Iscove, this classic, popular psychoanalytic study of marriage and divorce considers why certain people--those suffering from neurosis--seek divorce, what it is they expect divorce to do for them, and why divorce cannot provide what they are asking of it.
