Personzentrierte Trennungs- und Scheidungsberatung

What do parents need in order to develop a cooperative attitude towards the other parent in counselling despite injuries from the time of separation and couple relationship? How can counsellors succeed in the necessary confrontation with parental conflict behaviour without "losing" the parents in the process? The book describes the experience and the conflictual relationship dynamics of separated parents from a person-centred perspective and discusses the significance of diagnostics with regard to the differential objectives and procedures of counselling. The assessment of parental functioning in aspects relevant to counselling, such as communication, emotional regulation or the perception of children's needs, is of central importance here. Andreas Ritzenhoff presents a person-centred conception of separation counselling that makes it possible to work successfully with disputing parents on the basis of a counselling attitude that is both appreciative and clear.
