“…Experiences of an unsafe and volatile emotional environment lead to increased mistrust between the parents (even more so that may exist in the course of a less conflictual divorce/separation).

When parents separate and divorce, they and their children often suffer dire emotional consequences, especially when the parents have a "high-conflict" relationship. When the parents are able to have a more collaborative relationship, however, outcomes are more positive. Family counseling can be an excellent resource for these parents, but the literature in this area is sparse. This article reviews a framework of understanding high conflict in the context of separated parents. After establishing this base of understanding, common challenges in working with high-conflict separated parents are presented, along with nonmodeldependent strategies for meeting these challenges. Case examples are provided to illustrate both the challenges counselors may face and the strategies that are suggested for meeting those challenges.
