systems constructs (particularly centering on the child's triangulation into the spousal conflict through a cross-generational parent - child coalition against the other parent) which is necessary for competent professional diagnosis and treatment with this «special population» of children and families may represent practice beyond the boundaries of professional competence in violation of professional practice standards.
