NAPLES PROTOCOL. The psychologists in legal proceedings of separation and divorce

Abstract

Naples, Federico II University, June 17th, 2019. Violence against women is a pervasive and obscure phenomenon and compliance with the Istanbul Convention indicates to technicians the way to avoid women fleeing institutions, exposing themselves and their children to greater health risks that's life. In this framework, the Naples Protocol was created to share the basic criteria on which to base technical consulting in disputes for child custody.
It is a turning point, in an institutional frame that penalizes, in the courts, mothers who denounce partners and fathers for violence. The protocol invites the community of psychologists to take the field alongside the victimized mothers especially after the legislative proposals (Ddl Pillon) which introduce important changes on the issues of parenting; it does this by urging a new awareness of the technicians, who combine science and knowledge with women's rights.
