How can conflicts of highly controversial parents in separation situations be resolved? This book offers a well-founded overall concept to lead affected parents into an amicable future. When parents separate, a phase with high potential for conflict begins for families. Even if the number of highly escalating parent systems does not represent the majority in the case of separations, it is precisely these parents who occupy specialists in particular. How do such systems come about and what are they? And how do counseling and mediation have to be designed so that parents can switch to harmonious communication? Almut Fuest-Bellendorf designs a holistic, system-theoretical concept that supports consultants and mediators in this process.
