Working With Alienated Children and Families: A Clinical Guidebook
Amy J. L. Baker, S. Richard Sauber | English, 2012
This edited volume is written by and for mental health professionals who work directly with alienated children and their parents. The chapters are written by leaders in the field, all of whom know how vexing parental alienation can be for mental health professionals.
No matter how the professional intersects with families affected by alienation, be it through individual treatment, reunification therapy, a school setting, or support groups, he or she needs to consider how to make proper assessments, how to guard against bias, and when and how to involve the court system, among other challenges.
The cutting edge clinical interventions presented in this book will help professionals answer these questions and help them to help their clients. The authors present a range of clinical options such as parent education, psycho-educational programs for children, and reunification programs for children and parents that make this volume a useful reference and practical guide.
Is 5 Too Late?
Rev. Gail L. Rocke | English, 2010
The author said, “I tell the true story of how I came to adopt four children from four different ethnicities. … The book is a step-by-step narration of all significant events relating to the adoption portion of my life.” The main purpose of the book is to make readers aware of the devastating effects that any child’s early childhood experiences can have on him or her. The book considers whether a child is “salvageable” at the age of five years, after experiencing years of neglect, abuse, and trauma after trauma. The author points out how inadequate are the resources available to adoptive families. She brings the readers through her own difficulties, including her divorce, her alcoholism, her suicidality, and, finally, her spiritual awakening.
Freedom of Mind: Helping Loved Ones Leave Controlling People, Cults, and Beliefs
Steven Hassan | English, 2012
In the post 911 world, people are more susceptible than ever to charismatic figures who offer simple, black v. white, us v. them, good v. evil, formulaic solutions. The rise of the Internet; increasingly sophisticated knowledge about how to influence and manipulate others; and the growing vulnerabilities of people across the planet—make for a dangerous, potentially devastating combination. Steven Hassan’s new book Freedom of Mind provides the knowledge and awareness needed to help yourself and loved ones avoid or escape from such dangerous people and situations. The Internet is now the primary vehicle for recruitment and indoctrination. It is also a means for spreading sophisticated information about social psychology, hypnosis, and other techniques of social control, which are being used—in ways both effective and dangerous—by “influence professionals.” Meanwhile, people are becoming increasingly vulnerable. Freedom of Mind provides help for yourself, a loved one, or a friend.

The Parental Alienation Syndrome: A Family Therapy and Collaborative Systems Approach to Amelioration
Linda J. Gottlieb | English, 2012
In this thought-provoking book, Ms. Gottlieb attempts to resolve the controversies surrounding parental alienation syndrome (PAS) by providing substantial empirical evidence from her treatment cases in support of the eight symptoms which child psychiatrist, Richard Gardner, had identified as occurring in the PAS child, and she further exemplifies the commonality of the alienating maneuvers among the alienating parents. Numerous case examples are explored: horrific tales of manufactured child abuse; referrals to child protective services (CPS) resulting in suspension of visits between targeted parents and their children; meritless reports to police alleging domestic violence in support of orders of protection; and exclusionary tactics preventing targeted parents’ involvement in their children’s medical, educational, social lives and activities. Ms. Gottlieb methodically documents that PAS is a form of emotional child abuse of the severest kind. The author provides an unprecedented number of treatment summaries, which demonstrate the effectiveness of structural family therapy in treating the PAS family. This book will be an excellent resource for: parents who are divorcing or are in conflict, adult victims of PAS, judges, law guardians, matrimonial attorneys, therapists, child protective personnel, law enforcement — and for the professional rescuer who believes that a child must be saved from a parent..
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.
Listen to Me!!! Your Child and Your Divorce
Daniel Gottlieb | English, 2012
Listen to ME!!! is a compilation of expressions direct from the minds and hearts of children. All are direct quotes, completely real, taken from deep discussions in the psychologist’s office. These verbatim testimonies make it easy for parents to better understand their children’s emotional experiences throughout the process of divorce. Divorce is an emotional and traumatic process, and in a certain way, it encompasses an element of irrationality, especially when considering its high psychological and economic price. Listen to ME!!! was born from a desire to help parents understand their children. Rather than appealing to their minds, it appeals directly to their hearts. Dr Daniel Gottlieb has written Listen to ME!!!, a powerful book that describes the consequences of divorce for the entire family, based on his experiences as the court-appointed psychologist for hundreds of divorce cases across the country of Israel.
