Description

Parental alienation (PA) is a mental condition in which a child—usually one whose parents are engaged in a high-conflict separation or divorce—allies strongly with one parent (the favored parent) and rejects a relationship with the other parent (the alienated parent) without legitimate justification. The most common cause of PA is the child’s indoctrination by the favored parent to dislike or fear the alienated parent. This is a generic definition almost everyone—PA proponents as well as PA critics—recognizes and accepts.

During emotionally charged separation, parental alienation is common and can cause significant emotional problems for both the child or children and the targeted parent. A disinformation campaign has caused confusion about the research, science, and law about parental alienation to such an extent that the terminology, “parental alienation” has been challenged.

This course is a compilation of approximately 16 different seminars, presentations, articles, and summaries of lectures about parental alienation, written by top doctors, research scientists, scholars, and experts on parental alienation. This CLE has critical information for any family law practitioner of high-conflict divorces.

This CLE was produced with special whiteboard video, and cartoon animation software, and contains video stock footage in a documentary-style format. The articles, slide presentations, and scripts from the videos are included so the viewer also receives a wealth of information. Not only does this CLE provide highly critical information for the family law practitioner, but it also entertains with cutting-edge video-presentation software.
