Séparations avec enfants: Conflits, violences, manipulations

Marie-France Hirigoyen | French, 2024

When parents separate, the child, who occupies a central place within the family, often becomes the focal point of conflicts. Their suffering is not so much linked to the breakup itself but to the way it happens. Despite their good intentions, parents, overwhelmed by their own emotions, sometimes struggle to protect the child. The most harmful effects are observed when, in a context of violent marital interaction, one parent (or sometimes both) uses the child as a witness, fueling their sense of powerlessness.

YOU-KNOW-WHO: An Alienated Daughter’s Memoir

Dana Laquidara | English, 2023

Even when parents divorce, their children are allowed to keep loving both of them. At least that is how it should be. But shortly after Dana's parents split up, her whole maternal family is cast out of her life. Traumatized but afraid to upset her father, Dana obediently goes along with this plan of erasing the past. Over time, her mother becomes a fading memory, an outline in her imagination, etched in colors. Red hair, white skin, the same blue eyes as Dana's. Unable to voice her yearning to have her mother back, or even to ask questions about her, Dana holds on to proof of her mother's existence wherever she can find it.

In this harrowing memoir, Dana makes her way through her lonely childhood and teenage years, and through her father's second marriage with the woman she is told to call mother. Dana tries to fill the emptiness left by her mother's absence, but she eventually learns that she must harness the courage to face the truth, whether or not that leads her back to her mother.

Disrupting the Intergenerational Trauma Cycle of High Conflict Divorce

Alyse Price Tobler | English, 2024

A Guide for Mental Health Practitioners and Adult Child Survivors of Child Psychological-Abuse: Severe Parental Alienation.

Dr. Alyse Price-Tobler’s groundbreaking research delves into the challenges faced by adult-child survivors of severe parental alienation (SPA) resulting from intense custody conflicts. This study highlights the lack of understanding among mental health practitioners regarding child psychological abuse and high conflict divorce, emphasizing the need for targeted professional development and evidence-based treatment protocols.

Volume One of the twin PhD study provides a comprehensive examination of SPA’s impact on survivors and practitioners, setting the stage for further insights. The research also uncovers a potential new specific phobia variant among SPA survivors who have experienced factitious disorder imposed on another (FDIOA) and child abduction. Furthermore, the study explores potential correlations between SPA and autoimmune diseases and cancers, opening doors for future research into the complex relationship between SPA and mental and physical health.

Parental Alienation: Science and Law

Demosthenes Lorandos & William Bernet | Polish, 2023

Polish translation.

Alienación Parental: Niños Huérfanos de Padres Vivos

Mauricio Luis Mizrahi | Spanish, 2022

The concept of parental alienation has already entered jurisprudence in several rulings, including one from the Supreme Court of the Nation (Argentina). Children who refuse to see one of their parents even if there is no justification; fathers or mothers victims of false reports of abandonment, mistreatment, violence and even abuse, deprived of seeing their children for unacceptable periods of time because justice takes years to elucidate cases and even after acquittals; parents who refuse to abide by the judicial provisions on visits, reconnections or family therapies to prevent the resumption of the child’s relationship with the former partner. Those are the situations of injustice, pain, and psychological damage that parental alienation causes.

Nodi e snodi nell’alienazione parentale: Nuovi strumenti psicoforensi per la tutela dei diritti dei figli

Marco Pingitore | Italian, 2021

This book (Knots and Joints in Parental Alienation: New Psychoforensic Tools for the Protection of Children’s Rights) deals with parental alienation through a new point of view: that of the child and how it perceives itself, the father, and mother in the new condition of a divided family. The book describes the phases of office consultancy with a practical guide on possible questions to ask and errors to avoid, with a focus on the most effective judicial measures to be taken to protect children. Two innovative themes are addressed by the authors: the first concerns the methodology of psychological support for parents rejected by their children; the second concerns two treatment programs for the recovery of the broken relationship between the child and the rejected parent.

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.

The Routledge International Handbook of Shared Parenting and Best Interest of the Child

José Manuel de Torres Perea, Edward Kruk, Margarita Ortiz-Tallo | English, 2021

With expert contributions from psychological, sociological, and legal perspectives, it offers scientific analysis and debate on whether the best interests of the child should be the primary consideration in deciding child custody cases in cases of divorce or separation or whether it should be one of several primary considerations. This book explores complex dilemmas inherent in shared parenting and whether the advantages it offers children are sufficient when compared to attributing custody to one parent and limiting visitation rights of the other. Cutting-edge topics explored include: transnational shared parenting; alternative dispute resolution; breastfeeding parents; religious disputes between parents and the psychological, social and economic factors that affect shared parenting. The Routledge International Handbook of Shared Parenting and Best Interest of the Child will be essential reading for scholars and graduate students in law, psychology, sociology, and economics interested in shared parenting and family law.

Real-Time Parenting: Choose Your Action Steps for the Present Moment

Beth Miller, Amy Armstrong, Mary Funari | English, 2021

Real-Time Parenting is the antidote to our comparison culture. Parents increase self-awareness and develop trust in themselves by taking inventory of their personality, values, and past experiences. They craft a unique vision for their family and choose action steps to meet their children’s needs in the heat of everyday moments. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting. Real-Time Parenting is written by three parent coaches who understand the demands of parenthood and empower moms and dads to discover their personal best. Through stories and practice, they respond to their family with intention instead of reacting from stress. They build self-confidence as they embrace a positive mindset, celebrate wins, and engage with a supportive community.
