International Relocation Disputes and the Risk of Cultural Bias in Family Law Matters
This paper discusses how judges and forensic experts can reach culturally biased decisions in family relocation matters, potentially compromising the best interests of children involved. The risk of reports and judgments being biased is particularly pronounced when cultural factors are focused upon selectively, while other relevant factors are overlooked. To mitigate this potential for cultural bias, several strategies are proposed. These include…
Overnights and Overkill
In post-divorce and post-separation contexts, overnight visitation is being recommended with increasing frequency for non-resident parents. However, there is confusion as to whether sleepover access serves the best interests of young children. My purpose in this paper is to raise awareness and to encourage debate on children's needs regarding overnight contact during early developmental phases. I review available research and reflect critically o…
Post-Divorce Relocation
This article focuses on factors that should be considered when determining whether post-divorce relocation is likely to be beneficial or detrimental to the psychological well-being of children. The article is a reflection on psychological literature and legal cases as opposed to an empirical study. The central arguments of the article are that (a) a continuing shared parental responsibility model rivals the traditional primary caregiver model, (b…
Facilitating Reflexivity in Interracial and Multicultural Counselling
Anti-Client and Pro-Client Positions in Interracial Psychotherapy
The article reports on the findings of a study designed to explore the thoughts, feelings and fantasies of white South African therapists working interracially. The research was couched within an expanded understanding of Pedersen's Model for training in multicultural psychotherapy. More specifically, it investigates how therapists' therapy-hindering (‘anti-client’) statements reflect aspects of racial prejudice in South Africa and South African …
Racial sensitivity and multicultural training
The Plight of Black South African Women Domestics
The employment of Black women in domestic service in White households is a major feature of the economic structure of South Africa. In 1984, approximately 76% of White families had at least one domestic (Goodwin, 1984). The South African situation is perhaps unusual in that relatively less-affluent White families are able to employ domestic help, whereas their counterparts in other countries are not easily able to do so. Domestic workers may be e…
