The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between pre-divorce family cohesion level and post - divorce adjustment. It was suggested that divorced individuals with moderate cohesion scores will be better adjusted and will evaluate their current lives more positively than those with high or low cohesion scores. The subjects were 40 divorced females, ages between 27-46. Pre-divorce family cohesion was measured by FACES II and post-divorce adjustment was measured both by an adjustment scale and by the Semantic Differential Scale. In general, the results did not indicate a significant difference among the different levels of cohesion in terms of post - divorce adjustment. Only one variable, "psychosomatic complaints at the time of divorce," showed a significant relation in the predicted direction.
