| Abstract | ||
| The main aim of this research is to test the effect of a life model to alleviate life stressors facing divorced women through implementing a professional intervention program - from the perspective of the generalist social work profession - by the researcher. The program was implemented on a sample of divorced women. The scale of life stressors of divorced women was built and applied to women participating in the study by the researcher. The participants were selected from women whose endpoints measure was elevated to such stressors, their number came to 54 cases. Those cases were divided into two groups: one experimental group consisting of 27 women, and one control group consisting of another 27 women. The professional intervention program was applied to the experimental group during a period of four months. The results showed the diversity of divorced women's stressors including psychological, social and economic stressors. The results also showed that an intervention program through a life model can help divorced women to cope with these psychological, social, and economic stressors. | ||
