Abstract

Posljednjih nekoliko godina sve je veća stopa razvoda braka, a samim time i sve više jednoroditeljskih obitelji. Razvod braka jedno je bolno i složeno iskustvo te jedan od stresnijih događaja s kojim se obitelj može suočiti. Osim roditelja, s obiteljskim promjenama suočavaju se i djeca koja su često izložena roditeljskim sukobima i svađama te roditelji nerijetko svojim manipulativnim ponašanjem, upravo djecu koriste kao oruđe kako bi „pobijedili“ svog partnera. Manipulativna i druga neadekvatna roditeljska ponašanja i konflikti u tijeku razvoda braka nerijetko dovode do otuđenja djeteta od jednog roditelja. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je kroz analizu dokumentacije centra za socijalnu skrb koja se odnosi na razvod braka u kojem je zbog konfliktnog roditeljstva došlo do otuđenja djeteta ili pak postoji mogućnost da do toga dođe, utvrditi može li se otuđenje djeteta prepoznati na temelju određenih ponašanja i postoje li u Republici Hrvatskoj zakonske mjere koje omogućuju institucijama da adekvatno reagiraju kako bi zaštitile najbolji interes djeteta. Istraživanjem je utvrđeno da postoje ponašanja koja ukazuju na otuđenje djeteta, ali da se u društvu premalo govori o njemu, te da postoji potreba da se problem otuđenja jasno zakonski definira kako bi institucije djelotvornije reagirale i zaštitile prava djeteta.

Abstract (english)

In the past few years, the number of marriages ending in divorce has been an increasing trend. Consequently, single-parent families are becoming quite a usual sight nowadays. Dissolution of marriage often represents a painful and complex experience and stands for one of the highly stressful events for the entire family. Besides parents, children are heavily affected by the newly introduced changes as well. They are exposed to unpleasant parental conflicts and are likely to be used as a tool in manipulative behaviour exerted by either the mother, or the father, in order to „win“ an argument. Such inadequate and devious parental actions often lead to alienation of a child away from one of the parents. The goal of this Master’s thesis is thorough analysis of the official documentation belonging to the Center for Social Welfare which describes divorce with known or possible implications of child alienation. Outcomes of the analysis will serve to deduct whether it is possible to predict child alienation based on certain behavioural traits. In addition, the thesis will look into the potential legal measures, available under the juridical system of the Republic of Croatia, which institutions in charge can take in order to adequately protect a child's best interests. This research showed it is indeed plausible to predict child alienation from particular parental behaviour, however, discussing such topics is strongly stigmatised in the current society. Results have also shown there is an urgent need for a better legal definition of child alienation issue so that authoritative institutions could effectively act to protect child’s rights.
