Abstract Within a child custody context, this article systematically reviewed the available qualitative research of post separation, high conflict, co-parenting relationships. Separated parents’ experiences of high conflict were reportedly embedded in pervasive mistrust and disdain, and underpinned by concerns over differing parenting styles, or the other parent’s ability to adequately care for the child. The factors that potentially maintained conflict were parental concerns regarding the child’s safety and well-being when in the care of the other parent. The factor that potentially escalated conflict was disdain directed at the other parent’s concerns. Recommendations for future research and implications for social policy for these families are discussed.

父母分居后两年激烈冲突的经历：对定性文献的系统回顾

摘要 在儿童监护背景下，本文系统地回顾了现有的关于分离后、高冲突、共同抚养关系的定性研究。据报道，离散父母的高度冲突经历深深植根于普遍的不信任和蔑视中，并以不同的养育方式或另一方父母充分照顾孩子的能力为基础。可能维持冲突的因素是父母对孩子在另一方父母照顾下的安全和福祉的担忧。可能导致冲突升级的因素是对另一方父母的担忧不屑一顾。讨论了未来研究的建议以及对这些家庭的社会政策的影响。
