Understanding parent-child contact problems in family law cases

Abstract

Many professionals describe situations where a child unjustifiably rejects one parent due to the influence of the other parent as a resist-refuse dynamic, or as a parent-child-contact-problem. Such situations may arise during or after divorce. The problem is that the resist-refuse dynamic may have long-lasting negative effects on family function and healthy interaction within the family.
