Compared with ordinary civil disputes, family cases are characterisedby their ethical, personal and emotional nature. Basic-level courts receive alarge number of family disputes every year. However, the traditional familytrial mode is becoming more and more procedural and simplistic for resolvingfamily conflicts. This paper attempts to introduce the knowledge of psychologyin marital family disputes to help judges understand the psychological andemotional needs of the parties, to analyse the real purposes and motives behindthe litigation of the parties, and to promote the substantive resolution of familydisputes. At the same time, this method allows the parties to get out of thewhirlpool of emotions and rethink and understand each other’s behaviourunder the auspices of the judge. This approach helps to bring into play thehumanistic features of marital and family disputes, maintain marital and familystability, and promote social harmony.
