Historic change afoot: winning without the ‘A’ word

After decades of ideological impasse, the major US professional body, the APA, has signalled that an historic change is on its way. Let’s celebrate this long-awaited change and the invisible key that seems to have worked at last. What’s the key?! The

The child’s voice: We accuse you adults!

The brilliant news is that we can now publish this first online English translation of an Alienated teenager’s crie de coeur. In A Tardis of a Textbook, we featured Wilfrid v. Bloch-Galhau’s English version of his German book on Parental Alienation. It’s a wee cracker (as

The Remarkable Ryan Thomas

Ryan Thomas is a grown up child of Alienation. Triggered by chance by what a work colleague said, he realised as an adult what had been happening. Eventually he reconnected with his Dad. Ryan has now created a goldmine of online resources. He is

I was once a community-based child psychiatrist in a friendly multi-disciplinary team here in NHS Lanarkshire. Sadly few Scottish services took seriously enough the needs of children and families engaged in the stress of family law and courts after separating. But what

Dr Wilfrid von Boch-Galhau’s book on Parental Alienation (2013) is now available to buy online in its English translation.  Dr Who?  No … Dr von Boch-Galhau! But like Dr Who’s time-travelling police box Tardis, this book is much bigger on

Finding experts: Brian Ludmer

In a recent blog post, Karen Woodall features the globe-trotting but Toronto-based family lawyer, Brian Ludmer. You can hear him and his careful, experienced thinking in two in-depth radio blog discussions recorded in January 2012 – a radio blog discussion with Brian,  Jill Egizii and Judge Michele Lowrance which was continued

Climbing the mountain: 4. Enduring cases

To do justice to Climbing such a huge mountain as high conflict family separation of all kinds we are taking the the whole thing in sections. After Introduction, Before court, and In court, we’re up to Part 4 (of 9). As usual, this is work

Pairing up Abduction and Alienation

What’s the difference between Parental Child Abduction and Parental Child Alienation? Not a lot. Recently looking at cults and hostage-taking, we saw how close Abduction and Alienation were. Abduction is a quick way to do the same as Alienation does slowly.
