Enhancing coparenting using video feedback: Consensus guidelines for infant and preschool families
Couples’ Coparenting and Parent-Child Relationship Quality: A Dyadic Daily Diary Study
This study examined how daily experiences of coparenting relate to parent–child relationship quality using a dyadic daily diary design. Eighty-five heterosexual cohabiting couples (N = 170 individuals), with at least one child under 16, completed daily assessments over seven consecutive days. Participants reported on coparenting cooperation, conflict, and child involvement in conversations, as well as parent-child relationship quality. Actor-Part…
What It Means to Put Children First: A Mixed-Method Investigation of Child-Centric Parenting
Child-centrism is a commonly practiced parenting approach in which parents prioritize their children’s well-being over their own. Despite initial validation of a child-centrism scale among mothers—supporting its distinctiveness from other intensive parenting styles—research has yet to comprehensively examine child-centrism in fathers and identify motivations for engaging in and concrete manifestations of child-centrism. In this research, we provi…
Post‐Therapy Trajectories Following Brief Systemic Couple Therapy for Parents
This study examined post-therapy trajectories among parent couples who received either the Integrative Brief Systemic Intervention (IBSI)-targeting both romantic and coparenting relationships-or Brief Systemic Therapy as usual (BST-as-usual). Based on previous results showing comparable post-treatment improvements across conditions, participants were analyzed together to identify the typical patterns of change couples follow after therapy. We ass…
Bringing Children in a Burning World?” The Role of Climate Anxiety and Threat Perceptions in Childbearing Motivations of Emerging Adults in Switzerland
This research investigates the relation between climate anxiety, threat perceptions for future generations, and childbearing motivations in childless emerging adults. Using a sample of 1211 Swiss college students aged 18–25, the study explores if threat perceptions mediate the relationship between climate anxiety and childbearing motivations. Results from structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that climate anxiety significantly predicted gr…
Placing a child's or partner's needs above my own: Impacts on a couple's sexual relationship
Parent couples often struggle to maintain satisfying sex lives perhaps because partners have different priorities to balance including the self, their relationship with each other, and their relationships with their children. Given that parents are increasingly involved in supporting adult children, it is important to examine how prioritization of other's needs over one's own shapes a couple's sexual relationship. In a sample of 179 parent couple…
An ultra‐brief systemic intervention to address child mental health symptomatology
Drawing on decades of research in family systems, coparenting, and developmental science, we present a clinical approach to address unmet service needs in children's mental health. Specifically, we describe Lausanne Family Play – Brief Intervention (LFP‐B) – a manualized family systems approach providing a caregiver‐caregiver‐child therapy (and sibling/s, when applicable). The LFP‐B is ultra‐brief, typically delivered in as few as three sessions …
Importance of Asylum Status, Support Programmes, and Family Unit Functioning on the Mental Health of Syrian Forced Migrants in Switzerland: A Longitudinal Study
Due to the Syrian civil war, millions of Syrians have fled the country since 2011. Several issues have inhibited their successful resettlement, but few studies have examined the development of the healthcare needs of Syrian forced migrants in Europe. This study examined Syrian forced migrants’ healthcare needs in Switzerland, and whether migration type and family functioning affect their mental health. Our sample included 108 individuals from 14 …
Framing the work: A coparenting model for guiding infant mental health engagement with families
When working with families of infants and toddlers, intentionally looking beyond dyadic child‐parent relationship functioning to conceptualize the child's socioemotional adaptation within their broader family collective can enhance the likelihood that clinical gains will be supported and sustained. However, there has been little expert guidance regarding how best to frame infant‐family mental health therapeutic encounters for the adults responsib…
Parents in couple therapy: An intervention targeting marital and coparenting relationships
This article describes the treatment framework and core therapeutic principles of the integrative brief systemic intervention (IBSI), a manualized six‐session intervention intended for parents seeking couple therapy. IBSI aims to work on the couple's presenting problem, considering its specific impact in the marital and coparenting domains. The basic premise of IBSI is to consider that, when working with couples who have children, therapeutic wor…
Putting parental overprotection into a family systems context: Relations of overprotective parenting with perceived coparenting and adolescent anxiety
Previous research offers evidence for how overprotective parenting is related to psychosocial maladjustment among adolescents, and documents the parent‐related and child‐related antecedents of overprotective parenting. Using a family systems perspective, the present study aimed at extending this knowledge by looking into contextual determinants of overprotective parenting. More specifically, the goal of this study was to examine associations betw…
Co‐Parenting Programs: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Importance of Self‐Esteem for the Parental Couple: Testing for Actor and Partner Effects
Objective This study investigated the actor and partner effects of self‐esteem on the quality of the parental couple relationships: the romantic relationship and the coparental relationship. The mediating role of romantic quality also was considered. Background Previous findings suggest that self‐esteem affects the quality of the romantic relationship. Yet few studies have focused on self‐esteem in the parental couple or explored self‐esteem rela…
The French version of the coparenting inventory for parents and adolescents (CI-PA): Psychometric properties and a cluster analytic approach
Coparenting refers to the way in which adults work together in their role as parents to meet the needs of their children. Over the past decades, there has been a considerable growth of empirical research on coparenting, including the development of self-report questionnaires. However, most available measures relied exclusively on parental self-reports and were designed for use with families with toddlers or preschoolers. The aim of this study was…
Protocol of a longitudinal study on the specific needs of Syrian refugee families in Switzerland
BACKGROUND: The ongoing Syrian civil war has led to massive population displacements, leading to the reorganization of the asylum policies of several countries. Accordingly, like other European countries, the Swiss government has recently chosen to implement a specific resettlement program. This program is characterized by the fact that the whole nuclear family is granted a work and residence permit upon arrival, and benefits from enhanced integr…
Coparenting in Stepfamilies: A Cluster Analysis
The aim of this study was to identify types of coparenting in stepfamilies based on observational data and to examine whether these types differed regarding marital satisfaction and child adjustment. Forty-five couples attended two videotaped discussion tasks on topics of agreement and disagreement regarding coparenting issues. An exploratory cluster analysis identified three main types of coparenting in stepfamilies: (1) Cooperative coparenting …
Is self-esteem a resource for the parental couple? A longitudinal study on the quality of the romantic and coparental relationships
The aim of this study is to investigate the longitudinal influence of self-esteem on romantic and coparental relationship quality. The data were drawn from the German Family Panel, pairfam. Parents ( n couples = 2,364) were assessed three times over 4 years. The results indicated that romantic and coparental quality decreased over time, while self-esteem remained stable. The self-esteem of both parents predicted initial romantic and coparental qu…
