[The influence of conjugal conflict on the child: review of research, theory and practice].
The demographical phenomena that have affected families for three decades is raising new interest in the study of how marital relations influence the psychosocial development of the child. Firstly, the authors briefly describe the state of scientific knowledge with respect to the effect of marital conflicts on the psychosocial adaptation of the child. Secondly, the authors make an effort to go beyond the negative effects of marital conflict on children, and discuss the theories and concepts that attempt to explain the covariation, especially concerning specific problems undergone by the child. The third part is devoted to clinical work. It includes an overview of successes and obstacles that still need to be overcome when using preventive measures with children, as well as when supporting the families already experiencing marital conflict.
