To understand the current crisis within the Clallam County Superior Court, one must look past the recent scandals and examine the foundational ideology of the man at the center of it all.
Thank you for writing this. This psuedo science that enables institutional corruption and systems of child trafficking needs to be exposed and expunged from the courts.
I can not thank you enough for bringing this to light. It is just so very mortifying I can not even begin to imagine what the good parents have gone through to try to protect their children from folks who did and will hurt them.
As a child of Parental Alienation who had no contact with his father for 17 years, I have to say that this is a very real thing that has real life-long impacts on children who experience it. I acknowledge that not all cases are created equal and any allegation of such should be impartially investigated. Both fathers and mothers can create alienation syndromes, and the worst cases, like mine, are usually caused by a parent with strong narcissistic personality traits whose desire for control over children extends to the exclusion of a non-abusive parent. Is PA the right diagnosis for every alleged case? No. Is PA "junk science"? Emphatically not. In fact, I (through complete coincidence) ended up back in the office of psychotherapist with whom I had court-ordered therapy when I was a child. I had forgotten him, but he remembered my case and told me that what I had experienced from my mother was nothing short of child abuse, and, had it happened today after an additional 30 years of research and practice, his advice to the court would have been to remove me from my mother's care and only allow supervised visitation. I have since reconciled with my father, but my younger brother never has - and that hurts both of them.
