Paradigm Shift: Treating Parents Embroiled in Conflict
Presented by:
Sharon Ryan Montgomery, Psy.D. and Tamsen Thorpe, Ph.D.
Dr. Montgomery is a licensed psychologist in private practice in Morristown, NJ. with an expertise in clinical and forensic psychology and has served as an expert in over 2000 custody disputes in New Jersey and other states. She has taught, lectured extensively, and presented papers at both national and international conferences and was past president of NJPA. MCPA, and the NJ Chapter of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts.
Dr. Thorpe is also a clinical and forensic psychologist in Morristown where she works with couples and individuals who are in transition or in high conflict. In a forensic capacity she provides evaluations and interventions such as Parent Coordination or Reunification.
High conflict between parents leads to devastating consequences for children, whether or not the parents eventually divorce. Shielding children from the impact of parental conflict, understanding the dynamics of the conflict, as well as teaching both married and divorced parents to manage their disagreements, needs to be the focus of treatment. In this presentation, current research, treatment options, and parenting techniques will be discussed.
Learning Objectives: By the end of the program participants will be able to:
1. Recognize and assess high conflict co-parenting dynamics.
2. Describe negative impacts on children and how to better buffer them.
3. Summarize treatment options.
4. Engage in paradigm shift in therapeutic approach to high conflict parents.
This program is intended for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, and graduate students. It will be presented at an intermediate level, meant for those with some prior knowledge of the subject matter.
