It is unnatural to assume a minimally coupled interacting scalar field, since $ξ=0$ is not a fixed point of the renormalization group once interactions are included. In fact, the only case where perturbation theory can be trusted is when the field is non-minimally coupled at the minimum of the effective potential. Thus, in perturbation theory, there is no infrared divergence associated with this scalar field.12 pages, Latex file, uses epsf.sty, 2 figures in a uufile.
