From Heartbreak to Healing: Resolving Parental Alienation
Cara E. Koch | English, 2020
Do you know that children are being damaged for life by being turned against one of their parents in the frequently unrecognized brainwashing process called parental alienation? Did you know that it is a form of emotional child abuse? When alienation happens, three core messages are generated: (1) The other parent abandoned and does not love the child. (2) The other parent is dangerous and cannot be counted on. (3) The child is totally dependent on the alienating parent. Therefore, a child’s emotional separation from the alienated parent is seeded and fueled by untruths from the other parent. From Heartbreak to Healing reveals the consequences of and shares a guide map of what to do if this is happening to you.
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.

This book provides a tool for clinicians to turn to when they are working with adult children and their parents seeking to resolve conflict, improve communication, and enhance their relationships.
