High-Conflict Parenting Post-Separation: The Making and Breaking of Family Ties describes an innovative approach for families where children are caught up in their parents’ acrimonious relationship - before, during and after formal legal proceedings have been initiated and concluded.

This first book in a brand-new series by researchers and clinicians at the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families (AFNCCF) outlines a model of therapeutic work which involves children, their parents and the wider family and social network. The aim is to protect children from conflict between their parents and thus enable them to have healthy relationships across both ‘sides’ of their family network.

High-Conflict Parenting Post-Separation is written for professionals who work with high-conflict families – be that psychologists, psychiatrists, child and adult psychotherapists, family therapists, social workers, children’s guardians and legal professionals including solicitors and mediators, as well as students and trainees in all these different disciplines. The book should also be of considerable interest for parents who struggle with post-separation issues that involve their children.

This book provides a pragmatic guide to multi-family therapy (MFT), as employed in a variety of different settings: health, social care and education.

Bringing six to eight families together to work on similar issues in MFT has become an increasingly successful intervention that encourages service user-participation and moves towards a more patient- and family-centred care. This text describes the concepts, therapeutic stances, interventions and techniques of MFT, bringing together all the major recent developments in the field. Specific topics covered include how to engage families in working together with up to eight families with similar issues and problems, how to set up and conduct multi-family groups and how to evaluate and develop interventions. The book covers working with and across diverse cultures, conditions and problems and includes a chapter on different MFT exercises, activities and games.

Systemic Multi-Family Therapy is written for a range of practitioners, including psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, group therapists and family therapists, and will also be relevant for most professionals working in social care and schools.
