When Parents Are At War

When a mental health professional provides psychotherapy services for children and families, it is inevitable that a case will come along with parents who are embroiled in a high conflict divorce or custody dispute. High conflict divorce and custody cases are complex, very challenging, and can be exhausting and emotionally draining for therapists. This book was designed by Lynn Louise Wonders, LPC, RPT-S, CPCS to help therapists avoid the pitfalls that often come along with these kinds of cases. The book is designed to serve as a guide that lays out the foundation and rationale for all the reasons psychotherapists need to be well prepared and organized in handling these kinds of cases. The contents are based upon many years of professional experience working with families experiencing high levels of conflict in court-involved cases. You will find the contents practical, straight forward and extremely helpful for your screening, treatment planning and ethical attention to your own self-care.
