1 The impact of conflict and family violence on parenting capacity and child development Dr Jacqueline Beall Child Dispute Services
2 Assessing family violence (Kelly & Johnson, 2008; Jaffe et al 2008; Johnston et al 2009; FLCs Family Violence Best Practice Principals 2011) Types of family violence Coercive controlling violence (CCV) based in power and control male perpetrator/female victim Situational couple violence (SCV) based in conflict gender equal Criticisms and concerns (e.g. Wangman, 2011) Dimensions of violence relevant to parenting plans: The P5 screening (Johnston et al 2009)
3 Parenting deficits associated with high conflict and family violence Emotional availability of the parent to the child is likely to be compromised (Kelly, 2012) insecure infant-parent attachment (Weinfield et al, 2008) Victims and perpetrators parenting is often compromised (CCV) (Bancroft et al 2012; Busch & Lieberman, 2007; Hardesty et al 2012) disorganised infant-parent attachment (Zeenah et al, 1999; Turner et al, 2012)
4
5 Outcomes for children There are detrimental effects on children s adjustment and wellbeing with both: high levels of parent conflict during marriage and after separation (Amato, 2000 & 2010) intimate partner violence (Hardesty et al 2012; Holt et al 2008) Violence has an independent effect on children s adjustment and is significantly more potent than high levels of marital conflict (Kelly & Johnson 2008) Children s exposure to CCV as compared to SCV is associated with the most severe and extensive adjustment problems in children (Kelly & Johnson 2008) Younger children more likely to witness family violence and prolonged exposure to have a greater negative impact (Ybarra et al, 2007; Holt et al 2008; Fox & Shonkoff, 2011 )
6 Other allegations -child abuse -alienation High conflict - violence Parents - POP program, counselling Children - group or individual therapy with/without parents Interventions High conflict + violence Parents - anger management programs, POP programs, counselling Children - safety, therapy with/without parents Child Dispute Services Multiple Adversities -mental health -drug & alcohol -parenting Controlling Coercive Violence Perpetrator - focus on power and control Victim parent - support Services, individual therapy Children - safety, traumaattachment based interventions
