“…Some parents are unevenly positioned in relation to their child, and their repertoire of positioning power is influenced by their respective relationship to the child (Dallos & Vetere, 2012), for example, one parent could have an advantage in having more access to their children than the other. In spending more time with the child, “the empowered” parent might take up a position as a “the only legitimate child representative” or a “knowledgeable/expert parent” versus “the isolated/unskilled” parent (Jevne, 2017). This barrier of positional inequality of power is in line with the moral conditions of justice that must be present to be able to communicate (Holiday (1988), that is, if we demand to be listened to, we must recognize the other's right to be listened to.…”

This qualitative study aims to explore how noncohabiting parenting couples in prolonged conflict construct the other parent and themselves. Ten parents from five parent couples were interviewed. A dyadic analytical design was used, where parent's stories of conflict were analyzed in parallel with their co‐parent. Drawing on positioning theory, self‐identity as parents emerged as implicit counter positions in storylines, which construct the co‐parent as “the troublesome other.” Two typologies of conflicted storylines were prominent in the findings: storylines of violations of trust, positioning the co‐parents in relation to traumatic events in the past and, storylines of who is bad, positioning the co‐parent as either a disloyal co‐parent or a dysfunctional parent. The findings indicate that prolonged conflicts made it impossible to find available positions for cooperation. We argue that family therapists should aid each household toward promoting child and family resilience rather than continued efforts to solve chronic conflicts.

“…Fokus på barnet ivaretas ved å ha direkte samtaler med barnet og ved å holde fokus på barnets situasjon i samtalen med foreldrene. Flere studier viser at det å snakke med barnet om barnets livssituasjon kan vaere viktig (Jevne, 2017b;Winsvold et al, 2016). Involvering av barnet praktiseres på ulike måter, avhengig av familieveilederens helhetlige vurdering.…”

Denne artikkelen handler om hvordan familieveiledere i barnevernet beskriver sitt arbeid med familier hvor det er konflikter mellom foreldrene etter samlivsbrudd, og hvilke utfordringer de møter i dette arbeidet. Artikkelen bygger på fokusgruppeintervjuer med 12 familieveiledere fra tre ulike team i den kommunale barnevernstjenesten. Resultatene viser at familieveiledere i refleksjoner over arbeidet med disse familiene er opptatt av følgende temaer: å jobbe på bestilling, vaere nøytral, ha fokus på barnet, skape trygge rammer og å vaere oppmerksom på egne emosjoner og personlige erfaringer. Studien viser at arbeidet er komplekst og utfordrende. Vi diskuterer derfor tre forhold som kan ha betydning for familieveiledernes muligheter for å bistå disse familiene: 1. betydningen av at arbeidet organiseres som en Dette er en akseptert fagfellevurdert postprint-versjon av en artikkel som er publiserte i Fokus på familien.
