Book excerpt: Understanding Parental Alienation is intended for parents who are living through a nightmare—the loss of their relationship with a child—which seems impossible to understand and extremely frustrating to turn around. This book, written by two leading experts in the field, provides a balance of theoretical background and practical hands-on information to guide both parents and practitioners through this devastating phenomenon.

The book is written in a readable, engaging manner interspersed with interesting case vignettes.

Download or read book Ex s Oh s written by J.K. Nation and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-04-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going through a divorce with children is like learning to dance in a mine field and expecting not to get hurt. Ex’s & Oh’s takes you through the journey of Parental Alienation, giving you the tools needed to find joy, healing, and restoration in the darkest times. Imagine if there were a manual or a guide that could help you avoid the mines and still learn how to dance again. Ex’s & Oh’s is that type of manual, allowing you to take a different perspective on your new reality and understand how to live again. Parental Alienation or Parental Interference (as referred to in the legal system) can be the darkest element in a divorce proceeding that often cuts off parents and extended family members from their children or grandchildren. The process leads to depression, financial despair, and in some cases even suicide. Parental Alienation becomes an invisible prison, crossing all ethnic, religious, and gender lines, and is the recipe for the destruction of the family. The goal for Ex’s & Oh’s is to bring life, freedom, and restoration to individuals and families impacted by Parental Alienation.
Download or read book Divorce Poison New and Updated Edition written by Dr. Richard A. Warshak and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your ex-spouse is bad mouthing you to your children, constantly portraying you in a negative light, perhaps even trying to turn them against you. If you handle the situation ineffectively, your relationship with your children could suffer. You could lose their respect, lose their affections-even, in extreme cases, lose all contact with them. The conventional advice is to do nothing, that fighting fire with fire will only result in greater injury to the children. But after years of consulting parents who heeded such advice with no success, Dr. Richard Warshak is convinced that this approach is wrong. It doesn't work, and parents are left feeling helpless and hopeless. DIVORCE POISON instead offers a blueprint for effective response. In it, you will learn how to distinguish different types of criticism, how and why parents manipulate their children, how to detect these maneuvers, and how these practices damage children. Most importantly, you'll discover powerful strategies to preserve and rebuild loving relationships with your children. DIVORCE POISON is a time-tested work that gives parents powerful strategies to preserve and rebuild loving relationships with their children-and provides practical advice from legal and mental-health professionals to help their clients and safeguard the welfare of children. Whether they are perpetrators of divorce poison, victims of it, or both, parents who heed Dr. Warshak's advice will enable their children to maintain love and respect for their parents-even if their parents no longer love and respect each other.
Download or read book Challenging Parental Alienation written by Jean Mercer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the concept of parental alienation – the belief that when a child of divorced parents avoids one parent, it may be because the preferred parent has persuaded the child to do this. It argues against the unquestioning use of parental alienation concepts in child custody conflicts. Increasing use of this concept in family courts has led at times to placement of children with abusive or violent parents, damage to the lives of preferred parents, and the use of treatments that have not been shown to be safe or effective. The 13 chapters cover the history and theory of "parental alienation" principles and practices. Methodological and research issues are considered, and diagnostic and treatment methods associated with "parental alienation" beliefs as well as those recommended by research and ethical evidence are analyzed. The connections of "parental alienation" with gender and domestic violence issues are discussed as are the experiences of individuals who have experienced "parental alienation" treatments. The book argues that "parental alienation" principles and practices should be avoided by family courts, in the best interests of children in custody disputes. This book will be useful reading for lawyers, judges, children’s services workers including social workers, child protection court workers, and mental health professionals involved in child custody decisions.
