[Loyalty conflicts in children of divorce].

Divorce is dealt with as a social phenomenon, including the effects of divorce on the children concerned and on their development. In case studies the practical work with divorce families is described in detail. Depending on the possibilities and the readiness of the involved parents, different therapeutical approaches can be taken in order to diminish the loyalty conflicts of divorce children: family-therapeutical work on the symptomatic behaviour of the child, divorce therapy as such with the parents, parent counselling limited to the parental level.
