“…However, there is a need for further study of PCs taking into account the perspectives of participants in the parenting coordination process. The research conducted by McHale confirms that PCs generally tend to have a better perception of their effectiveness than the parents (McHale et al, 2020). Particularly notable in relation to the perspectives of parents and minors are the 2010 Child Trends report (American Psychological Association, 2012) and a study by Quigley, both of which attempt to identify the degree to which and the benefits of minors involvement (2017, p. 158).…”

Summary. The main aim of this article is to assess the attention paid in social work to the role of parenting coordinator (PC). These professionals offer individualised support to high-conflict families in their implementation of parenting plans, normalising the relationship between parents and safeguarding the protection of minors. This form of alternative dispute resolution is being incorporated into the judicial system of various countries in a highly heterogeneous manner, with some countries such as Spain and Portugal experiencing uncertain times. A systematic literature review was performed, incorporating existing international studies in English, Spanish and Portuguese as well as court rulings in Spain, to identify the presence of social work as a discipline in this new professional role. • Findings. The findings show that despite the suitable training background of social workers, the involvement of their professional associations and their contributions to the function performed by PCs, there is no specific social work research focused on this area of knowledge. • Applications. The main contribution of this study is the commitment to a new professional niche for social work, traditionally occupied by psychologists. The emphasis should be placed not so much on the original training of the professional, but rather on his or her complementary training and accredited experience in highly conflictive situations.

“…The need for comprehensive and empirical efficacy and outcome research of parenting coordination programs has been discussed across the literature, and the methodological limitations of the relatively few studies addressing the issue, resulting in limited generalizability, have been noted in various reports and reviews (Coates et al, 2004; Deutsch et al, 2018; Henry et al, 2011; McHale et al, 2020; Scott et al, 2010). This pioneering study answers the need for more extensive research.…”

“…While in recent years parenting coordination has become a common family dispute resolution practice in cases of high‐conflict divorce, the research done so far on the efficacy and outcomes of parenting coordination programs across the world has been rather limited (Deutsch et al, 2018; McHale et al, 2020). Most of the past studies focused on the perspectives of parenting coordinators (PCs) and other professionals regarding the roles of PCs in the parenting coordination process (Beck et al, 2008; Fieldstone et al, 2011; Hayes, 2010; Hayes et al, 2012).…”

This paper presents a formative evaluation study of the parenting coordination pilot program launched in Israel in 2016 at the initiative of the Ministry of Welfare and Social Affairs (At the time the program was launched, the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Social Services) and JDC-Ashalim. Data was collected on 131 participating families (262 parents) through self-administered questionnaires filled out by the parents prior to the parenting coordination process (N = 204), telephone interviews with the parents following the process (N = 142), and reports by the parenting coordinators (PCs), submitted online at the conclusion of the process with each participating family (N = 131). Based on the logic model developed as a blueprint for the pilot program, the characteristics and needs of parents in high conflict were identified and desired outcome indicators were accordingly specified; quantitative and qualitative research tools were developed for the study, and the efficacy and outcomes of the parenting coordination pilot program were evaluated. Overall, the findings indicate a significant improvement in the desired outcome indicators. The implications of the findings for research and practice are discussed in the conclusion.

“…Also, providing a regular flow of data on these preschool children may facilitate intervention when necessary. Because parenting coordination is recommended for this type of situation (Deutsch et al, 2018), it may be beneficial to train parents to recognize possible future problems of their children.…”

Earthquakes have become a popular research area because they have recently caused numerous problems in many countries. Also, they significantly impact preschool children. Children in the preschool age group, which is a critical period, are at risk from earthquakes, as they are a vulnerable group. Specifically, investigating the effects of the earthquake on preschool children is crucial in solving the problems they experience and putting forward policy recommendations, but there is no review study specific to this age group in the literature. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effects of the earthquake on preschool children. The effects of the earthquake, which takes place in a wide range, on preschool children are gathered, especially in the fields of social, psychological, health, and education. Challenges experienced by parents, difficulties in meeting basic needs, complex psychological problems, and changes such as migration are some of the critical issues preschool children experience after earthquakes.
