Parental Alienation — Science and Law
Demosthenes Lorandos, William Bernet | English, 2020
Parental Alienation – Science and Law explains the research that creates the foundation for the assessment, identification, and intervention in cases of parental alienation (PA). For attorneys, judges, and family law professionals, this book explains in detail the scientific basis for testimony and legal decisions that relate to PA. There are two complementary features for most of the chapters. First, the chapter authors address how evidence regarding PA meets Frye, Daubert, and Mohan criteria. The second feature is to refute common misinformation. The editors of this book are concerned that some of the discourse regarding PA has spun out of control, into pervasive misinformation. This book provides abundant information for correcting and counteracting misinformation.

The International Handbook of Parental Alienation Syndrome: Conceptual, Clinical And Legal Considerations
Richard A. Gardner, S. Richard Sauber, Demosthenes Lorandos | English, 2006
The dramatic increase in the number of child-custody disputes since the 1970’s has created an equally dramatic need for a standard reference work that examines the growing social problem of children who develop an irrational hatred for a parent as the result of divorce. The International Handbook of Parental Alienation Syndrome features clinical, legal and research perspectives from thirty-two contributors representing views across eight countries, building on the work of the late Dr. Richard Gardner, a pioneer in the theory, practice, diagnosis and treatment of parental alienation syndrome (PAS). This unique title addresses the effects of PAS on parents and children, discusses issues surrounding reconciliation between parent and alicnated child and includes material published for the first time on incidence, gender and false allegations of abuse in PAS.
Benchbook In The Behavioral Sciences: Psychiatry-Psychology-Social Work
Demosthenes Lorandos, Terence W. Campbell | English, 2005
Thousands of judges, attorneys, and court personnel have to deal with experts in the behavioral sciences every day. Expert testimony from behavioral scientists (psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers) is the fastest growing area of expertise in American courts. The U.S. Supreme Court decisions in Daubert, Joiner, and Kumho Tire have profoundly altered the rules of evidence regarding expert testimony. Recent research demonstrates that the judges, attorneys, and court personnel required to implement those changes have little understanding of how to do this with the behavioral sciences. The Federal Rules of Evidence have just been amended to reflect the changes wrought by the Daubert, Joiner, Kumho Tire trilogy. And yet there are no guidelines, practice books, or judicial decision-making manuals that even remotely speak to “gatekeeping” responsibilities with the behavioral sciences. Lorandos and Campbell provide immediate access to authoritative information and immediate decision-making tools for judges, attorneys, and court personnel. It is also a comprehensive text with immediate utility as a decision-making tool. Extensively researched in law and the sciences, Benchbook in Behavioral Sciences provides up-to-date legal and scientific data to aid judges, attorneys, and court personnel in their daily decision-making with expert reports and testimony.
