Dr. Warshak's article, "Payoffs and Pitfalls of Listening to Children" has been accepted for publication and will appear in October in a professional journal along with articles by the world's leading divorce experts including Constance Ahrons, Sanford Braver, Robert Emery, and Joan Kelly. The article discusses the rewards of allowing children to have a voice in the custody decision-making process, but also discusses how traditional ways of involving children in custody disputes often harm children because they provide children with forums in which to takes sides in their parents' disputes. The article shows how, in addition to hearing an individual child's voice, decision makers can use the collective voice of children, as revealed in research on such topics as joint custody, overnight contacts, and relocation to help understand what children might say about these issues with the hindsight of maturity and in the absence of parental pressure, loyalty conflicts, inhibitions, and limitations in perspective and articulation.
