“…The training may also encourage parents to seek more comprehensive services. There is no demonstrated effect on child outcomes, however (Bacon & McKenzie, 2004;Wolchik et al, 2005).…”

“…Studies of Short-term Skill-Building using control groups and a variety of outcome measures indicate that this type of training is more effective than Basic Information training in that Skill-Building (a) increases cooperative parenting, and (b) shows a greater decrease in inter-parental conflict than does Information training (Bacon & McKenzie, 2004;Kelly & Emery, 2003). On the other hand, there is no evidence that Short-term Skill-Building (a) improves parenting, (b) improves child adjustment, or (c) reduces re-litigation rates, except perhaps for high-conflict families (Goodman et al, 2004).…”

“…Basic Information training is now available in about half of the counties in the U.S., and is mandated in many jurisdictions (Geasler & Blaisure, 1998;Wolchik et al, 2005). Both parents and court personnel report a high level of satisfaction with the training (Bacon & McKenzie, 2004;Grych, 2005;Kelly & Emery, 2003), despite mixed reports on the effectiveness of the programs (Goodman et al, 2004, Grych, 2005.…”

“…Bacon [18] shared the idea that conflict between parents has a significant influence on the process of adjustment for children (2004). The existing practices and policies of attorneys, judges and social workers within the family law system do not address individual needs, nor do they address the impact of the family system on children.…”

A model for treating high conflict in divorce is presented because the standard service model typically mandated is not sufficient to address the high stress dynamics residing in family systems or the self-concept of parents. The model for treating high conflict emanates from Bowen's family systems model and Kohut's theory of self-psychology. A strategy for client assessment and program evaluation is outlined together with an example showing the effectiveness of treatment for one sample of participants.

“…Bacon and McKenzie's (2004) evaluation of ten parent education programs for divorcing parents showed significant improvements on measures of parental conflict across programs. Programs for incarcerated parents have resulted in improved participant attitudes, better understanding of effective discipline practices, and recognition of the importance of children's play (among incarcerated fathers; Maiorano & Futris, 2005) and improvements in attitude, self-esteem, and interactions with children (among incarcerated mothers; Harm & Thompson, 1997).…”

ABSTRACT. This manuscript utilizes data from a telephone survey of 312 parent educators across the state of Tennessee to inform research and service efforts of a university-based parenting center. Specifically, we investigated (a) techniques used to disseminate parenting information, (b) specialized populations targeted, (c) curricula used as well as the evidentiary basis of those curricula, and (d) parent educator training and education, all at both state and within-state regional levels. Overall, results indicated that classes were generally available for individuals in various specialized populations, and a range of techniques were utilized to reach parents. Additionally, a variety of curricula were in use by relatively well-trained professionals. Results suggested several areas in which the resources of the university could be directed toward supporting the efforts of parenting educators in Tennessee. University faculty elsewhere are encouraged to similarly connect with front-line parent educators, gather data, and initiate services to help them help others.
