Abstract
The purpose of this project was to experiment with a small-group educational and ski1ls training approach to divorce education and conflict resolution. Three groups of couples were referred by the court, because of child-centered conflict that the parties brought to court, the last group being the largest (seven couples). They undertook a four week, two hour per week, group education experience. Five of the couples in the last group met the criteria for answering pre and post test questionnaires (attitude and behavior focus), such that one could assess the effect of the group experience on the members. The results indicated that the group's attitudes toward parental cooperation improved significantly, while their self-reported behavior also improved, but not at a significant level. Comments about the process and contrast with large group divorce education are made as a result of the findings. Some focus is given to recommended changes in the process that would likely increase the impact on parents of the effects of their conflict on the children.
