ABSTRACT
This article will outline the basic tenets and potential practical application of both a solution-focused and a family narrative approach in providing alternative and helpful techniques that can be utilized by parenting coordinators and co-parenting coaches working with high conflict families transitioning to a post separation or divorce state. It is suggested that children and parents adapt better to their new family circumstances when they are empowered to find their own solutions to the challenges they face and are given the opportunity to create, for themselves, a positive and desirable family story.
Notes
Baris et al. (Citation2000) created five levels of conflict from minimal to severe.
Although there are some fundamental differences between PC and CPC with regard to the mandate and length of service, contractual obligations and issues related to confidentiality and disclosure, they, nevertheless share many common goals and modalities of intervention as well as circumstances leading to the referral for service as previously outlined.
Other information is also obtained by consulting the legal file or reports submitted.
The miracle question can be posed differently especially when there might be objections to its formulations based on religious convictions or when it is too confusing (e.g., with young children).
All children 14 years or older must give their consent before they are seen. Very young children are not interviewed but seen in a family context with their siblings and parents.
