“…There is substantial research documenting the adverse effects of disrupted parent-child relationships on children's development, adjustment and educational attainment (Bowlby, 1952;Kohut, 1977;Sroufe & Waters, 1977;Masterson, 1990;Steele, 2002;Kelly & Lamb, 2003). Included in this research are findings that, regardless of conflict between parents, children of divorced parents who are separated from one parent due to the other parent's relocating are significantly less well off on many child mental and physical health measures compared to those children whose parents do not move away (Braver, Ellman & Fabricius, 2003;Fabricius & Braver, 2006).…”

In post-divorce and post-separation contexts, overnight visitation is being recommended with increasing frequency for non-resident parents. However, there is confusion as to whether sleepover access serves the best interests of young children. My purpose in this paper is to raise awareness and to encourage debate on children's needs regarding overnight contact during early developmental phases. I review available research and reflect critically on emerging trends with reference to attachment theory, practical experience, parental and gender rights, cultural considerations, and adversarial legal contexts. I suggest that insistence on overnight contact in highly contested matters may be a form of overkill that serves parental and legal demands more than the best interests of children, and conclude that individual cases should be assessed with reference to, amongst other things, processes of separation, reunion, and attachment.

“…Some theorists suggest on focusing on problem behaviors which occur outside of session (Masterson 1990), whereas others focus on in-session behaviors (Kernberg 1975). Other clinicians emphasize the importance of maintaining a therapeutic relationship and interpreting transference (Gabbard and Westen 2003), but indicate the utility of balancing appropriate interpretations, particularly as relevant to the here-and-now of the therapeutic interaction (Gabbard and Horwitz 2009).…”

To Integrate or Not to Integrate Dialectical Behaviour Therapy with Other Therapy Approaches?

With mounting evidence for its efficacy in the treatment of borderline personality disorder and related problems and increasing dissemination nationally and internationally, front line clinicians in practice settings are increasingly aware of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Indeed, it is likely that this treatment is reaching individuals who practice from a variety of theoretical frameworks, such as psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive, or some combination thereof. Therefore, this paper considers the ways in which DBT is an integrative approach, as well as the issues that may arise in the integration of DBT with other theoretical frameworks or with practices spawned by these alternative frameworks. We recommend that therapists practicing DBT adhere to the behavioral and dialectical theoretical foundations of the approach, in order to provide therapy that is effective, coherent, and consistent.
