Are we helping — or harming — children caught
in the middle of high-conflict separated families?
Join Clare Rowe for this provocative, evidence-informed online webinar designed specifically for psychologists navigating the complexities of court-involved therapy with children.
Drawing from her extensive experience as a Single Expert in the Family Court and Director of Rowe & Associates, Clare challenges the uncritical use of therapy in family law contexts and presents an alternative framework grounded in ethics, child development, and clinical integrity.
What You’ll Learn
✔ The rise of therapy culture — and how it may be backfiring
✔ Why therapy is not always neutral in high-conflict family law matters
✔ The risks of child-led narratives in therapeutic settings
✔ How to recognise when therapy becomes a litigation strategy
✔ Developmental limitations in child clients (e.g. suggestibility, abstract reasoning)
✔ Clinical vs. forensic roles — how to stay in your lane and avoid court misuse
✔ What to do instead — safe, ethical alternatives to traditional therapy
Who Should Attend
I.
✔ Registered psychologists and provisional psychologists
II.
✔ Those working with separated families or court-involved clients
III.
✔ Any therapist questioning the automatic use of therapy as a solution
