L’articolo propone una rassegna della letteratura relativa agli effetti a breve e lungo termine del divorzio coniugale sui figli adulti e giovani adulti. La ricerca internazionale relativa alle conseguenze del divorzio sul benessere psicologico dei figli ha spesso trascurato l’impatto che l’evento separativo e i cambiamenti ad esso connessi possono avere sulla vita e sulle scelte dei figli adulti. Il vissuto del sentirsi “intrappolati” nel conflitto coniugale sembra avere esiti a lungo termine e influenzare differentemente la relazione con il padre e con la madre. L’articolo, attraverso un’esemplificazione clinica, si concentra anche sulle conseguenze del divorzio sulla qualità delle relazioni di coppia dei figli adulti e propone alcune tipologie di intervento.;
