Divorce in Other Cultures
Divorce is common in almost all societies, but cultural views about it are changing as societies develop. In societies such as the United States, Sweden, Russia, and most European countries, divorce is relatively simple and has little stigma.

Divorce and Sex
Few studies have focused on sexual behavior among people who are divorced. Common sense tells us that a person who is depressed or angry about a divorce may have a decrease in both levels of sexual activity and sexual satisfaction.

Since the mid-1960s, daytime talk shows have brought previously unknown visibility to gays, lesbians, and bisexual people. Talk shows’ […]
Taiwan
In Taiwan the first case of infection with HIV was reported in 1984 and the number of infections, especially among homosexual and heterosexual sexual contacts, increased gradually until 2004. There was a sudden increase in 2004; in 2005 it reached a peak; and after that the rate of new infections started to decrease. This drastic […]
Adjusting to Divorce
One year after a divorce, 50% of men and 60% of women reported being happier than they were during the marriage (Faludi, 1991). Even 10 years later, 80% of the women and 50% of the men said that their divorce was the right decision. However, for some, divorce can be very painful, both emotionally and […]
When Caring Goes to Court
Sometimes, however, the provision of care—or its failure—becomes a matter of legal contention. When vital services, strong personal ties, rights, obligations, and financial stakes coincide, intense disputes concerning who owes what to whom often break out. Such disputes can easily go to court. If personal care forms the pivot of the questioned relationship, legal conflicts […]
