Psymulacres: Faces of Perversion

Séparations conflictuelles et aliénation parentale: Enfants en danger
Roland Broca, Olga Odinetz | French, 2021
Based on the studies of psychological and legal experts, this book shows how seemingly ordinary family situations can sometimes take dramatic developments. The book is based on the testimony of parents and child victims of family wars through the various stages of the judicial process, through the perspective of the different actors: judges, experts, psychiatrists, psychologists, jurists, and lawyers. It shows the limits of the various forms of intervention in the current legal context in France and draws on the experiences implemented in neighboring countries to advance promising models of intervention. This book is primarily intended for the general public because anyone considering a separation worries about how the children will preserve a relationship with both parents. The purpose of this book is to bring understanding of the phenomena involved in high-conflict parental separation and possible solutions for the protection of children and respect of their rights.
Protection de l’enfance: Lettre ouverte à tous ses acteurs
Isabelle Vuistiner-Zuber | French, 2019
Divorce is a delicate exercise of transition to a different living environment, especially when children are present. Without being careful, we can start to slide toward something unmanageable and a source of intense suffering. This book advises: be attentive to one’s own reactions following the break-up; give the children more attention; and know the structures and procedures that can provide support. This book is intended first as a guide for parents. The eight testimonies collected here express with force how much these tense situations can affect us. It is necessary to obtain absolute respect for the right of children to be raised by both parents.
Abus de Faiblesse et Autres Manipulations
Marie-France Hirigoyen | French, 2012
People influence each other every day, but manipulation is the abuse of influence over another person, the targeting and exploiting of another’s emotional and mental weaknesses. Hirigoyen analyzes scenarios of manipulation as she explores complex distinctions between “appropriate” and “inappropriate” influence. One of the vignettes in the book pertains to parental alienation.
