Separation between a married couple represents an event in a family’s history, potentially leading to rupture thus creating constant tension. This can accompany the people who are undergoing the separation for a long time bringing forth complications and issues especially for children. The goal here is to present the paper elaborated by the Academy of Family Psychotherapy of Rome entitled "Clinical Service for the child and the family". The work demonstrates the organization of a therapeutic process in various articulated phases following Kaslow’s separation model. Even though there is some procedural flexibility, the sequence of the work focuses on three areas: boundaries, re-elaboration of separation and re-elaboration of the history of three generations throughout different moments of family therapy and of the members involved (the couple, children and family of origin). The objective is to give continuity in conflict separation cases focusing on both the development of each individual involved, which risks a halt if ties are broken, and on the family structure as a whole, which faces a rupture in generations. This will allow the children to regain a mother and father which are able to share the parenthood thus liberating the children from conflicts.
