D.Litt. et Phil. / This study explores the experience of parents who were involved in child custody disputes. In order to shed light on the phenomenon under review, an investigation of existing research literature was undertaken. The review comprises an overview of theoretical approaches to child custody and the various factors which play a role in the experience. These include an examination of factors surrounding the custody, emotional factors and coping skills. A further focus of the review is on the process of meaning making. The review explores the legal issues of child custody in South Africa and the role of the psychologist working in a forensic setting. The focus of the study is on the world of the lived experience as it is interpreted by participants in order to produce an understanding of the participants’ experience. Hence the study is sited within a phenomenological framework. Six participants were interviewed with the intention to act as informants who are able to give rich and abundant descriptions of their experience. All participants have been involved in disputes regarding the custody of their children. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. An interwoven analysis was presented in order to identify the themes and experiences of such disputes which emerged from the transcripts. An attempt was made to understand how the various phenomena relating to experience of disputed child custody as well as the role of the psychologist were reflected by participants in the interviews. Finally the study presents a reflection on the experience of the researcher. An evaluation comprising the strengths and limitations of the study as well recommendations for future research is further presented. The unique contribution to the field of psychology is also addressed.

Differences between joint custody and mother custody families were assessed. The sample consisted of 42 post divorce families which had a child between the age of 4 and 15 years and resided in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. This cross sectional, multimethod, quasi-experimental study examined two groups of divorced families. The experimental group consisting of 21 joint custody families, was compared to the control group, consisting of 21 mother custody families. Families were matched between the two groups based on the child's gender, age and time lapse since parental separation. Within each family, interviews were conducted with one parent and with the parent's permission, a target child. Besides the interview, parents completed a questionnaire and the Child Behavior Checklist. Only 19 parents gave permission for their child to be interviewed. Parents completed a questionnaire and the Child Behavior Checklist.

Die Kurzfassung Diese Arbeit stellt einen Exkurs ins strafverfahrenlichen Institut der Untersuchungshaft vor. Sie widmet sich vor allem den Voraussetzungen und den Gründen für die Möglichkeit der Haftverfolgung. In der wissenschaftlichen Literatur wird diese Problematik oft wie sog. das materielle Untersuchungshaftrecht genannt. Dieses Thema wählte ich vornehmlich für die Kontroverse der Untersuchungshaft, weil sie mit den vielen menschlichen Grundrechten kollidiert. Die Arbeit wird in sieben Kapitel gegliedert. In den ersten Kapiteln werden die Gründe der Regelung, die theoretischen Definitionen und vor allem die Maximen, darauf dieses Institut aufgebaut wird, angeführt. Die Maximen sind sehr wichtig vor allem für die Anwendung in der Praxis. Die Untersuchungshaft stellt nämlich ein von den schwersten Eingriffen im Freiheitsrecht vor, deshalb werden hier auch die Forderungen der Urkunde der Menschenrechte und der Freiheiten, der Europäische Menschenrechtskonvention und des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte angedeutet. In dem dritten und zweiten Kapitel folgt die Aufzählung der nötigen Voraussetzungen für die Untersuchungshaftentscheidung. Schrittweise wird die Notwendigkeit der Beschuldigung, des dringenden Verdacht von der Straftatbegehung oder die Unterlagen für Gerichtsentscheidung...
