Abstract

Recent studies on post-divorce parenting skills indicate that sensitivity is one of the significant ingredients for the development of a healthy relationship between parent and child. This sensitivity is based on the ability of the parent to consider the emotional states of their children in a reflective and non-defensive way. However, parents with an untreated mental illness may lose this sensitivity, as a result of their own worries and their need for well-being. Personality disorders are often manifested in parenting coordination. They present as a persistent pattern of internal experience and behavior that departs sharply from the expectations of the subject’s culture, a generalized and inflexible phenomenon, which is persistent over time and leads to anguish and the deterioration of interpersonal relationships. The parenting coordinator must be alert to the type of incident and its treatment in order to ensure the protection of the child.
