Summary/Abstract: Separation or divorce is difficult to manage even by those who initiated it. The decision of separation/divorce is often made unilaterally or as a result of the fact that, rationally, that is better for everybody involved. The management of the emotional break between the two adults often takes a lot of time and the effects on the emotional, cognitive and behavioral development of the child are negative. So, the child commonly becomes a reason of dispute and psychological pay-backs between the two parents who are not aware of how traumatic such situations could be for their child. Educational psychologist`s intervention by experiential counseling techniques is designed to help the adults to complete their emotional issues and the child to manage/cope with such tense situations between parents in a favorable way for his growth.
