Love, Hate, Coparenting, Attachment, and Family Systems

 I am studying this morning and came across two articles I think important to understanding coparenting conflicts and the effect the same has on children. The scientific literature has identified problematic coparenting after the breakup / divorce as a "mediator" of child adjustment:

1. Dallos, R. & Vetere, A. (2012). Systems theory, family attachment and processes of triangulation: Does the concept of triangulation offer a useful bridge? Journal of Family Therapy, 34, 117-137.

2. Woodcock, Jeremy (2009). Love and hate and the oedipal myth: The perfect bridge between the systemic and the psychoanalytic. In C. Flaskas & D. Pocock (Eds.), Systems and psychoanalysis : Contemporary integrations in family therapy. (pp. 199-222). Taylor & Francis Group, 2009. London: Karnac Books.
