Miriam's guest, William Eddy, L.C.S.W., J.D. draws unflattering but striking parallels between high conflict divorces and the US political scene. Drawing on 30 years of experience as a family law attorney, therapist and mediator, Bill shows how the voters are reacting like children in a nasty court battle, forced to choose between warring parents. Siding with one parent or the other, or turning their backs on both, no one wins and deep scars remain.

In his book, SPLITTING AMERICA: How Politicians, Super PACs and the News Media Mirror High Conflict Divorce, Bill shows how to return civility to political discourse for the good of the nation.
