Sažetak
Parental divorce and separation affect numerous children and youth. Roughly every third parental divorce is high-conflict divorce, in which ex-spouses persist or even increase hostility and animosity during and after divorce. According to research and clinical practice, children in high conflict parental divorces are often put in the focus of the conflict, therefore they are at risk of emotional abuse by one or both parents (alienation, manipulation and/or inappropriate emotional pressure). Of all forms of abuse, emotional abuse is the least researched and there are only a few preventive programs regarding the topic worldwide. Short-term, long-term and transgenerational consequences of emotional abuse are the same as the consequences of other forms of abuse, negatively affecting mental health, social functioning and behavior. There are no systemic emotional abuse preventive programs in Croatia, especially specifically targeted on children in parental divorces. In this paper, there are possible reasons and existing European programs discussed, as well as their implementation, systematic and not systematic measures that already exist, as well as some perspectives in developing systematic prevention on this topic at all levels through intervention spectrum.
