| Abstract |
Divorce has a great impact on children’s short term and long term mental health. Not only because of divorce itself, but also because of parents’ distress and other side effects, such as conflict or sometimes the loss of one parent-child relationship. Us psychiatrists and psychotherapists are often asked advices on how to deal with these situations, on children’s needs, on shared custody, etc. We have heard many contradictory informations about shared custody and the subject is quite emotionnal. What do studies tell us about it ? What is good for a toddler ? And for older children ? Is there any rule one can follow to be guided on one's choice ? This poster will summarize the actual scientific knowledge about shared custody and children's needs. |
