Parental Alienation: Mike Jeffries and Dr. Amy Baker
Parental Alienation is… any behavior by a parent, a child’s mother or father, whether conscious or unconscious, that could create alienation in the relationship between a child and the other parent. Parental alienation can be mild and temporary or extreme and ongoing. Most researchers believe that any alienation of a child against (the child’s) other parent is harmful to the child and to the target parent. Extreme, obsessive, and ongoing parental alienation can cause terrible psychological damage to children extending well into adulthood.
On Get Your Justice Live, two authors from different perspectives join us to discuss their new resources that acknowledge and raise awareness on the subject of Parental Alienation. For the parents, for the professionals, and for the children, after all “Parental Rights should be respected and protected by all.”
Mike Jeffries, author of A Family’s Heartbreak: A Parent’s Introduction to Parental Alienation, is the true story of one parent’s struggle to maintain a normal, loving relationship with his young son in the face of overwhelming odds. From the emotionally devastating actions of the child’s other parent, to a court system and mental health community ill-equipped to deal with a destructive family dynamic, A Family’s Heartbreak: A Parent’s Introduction to Parental Alienation is both an education in parental alienation and an eye opening experience for parents who don’t believe this could happen to them.
Dr. Amy Baker is pleased to announce her latest book, co-authored with psychologist Dr. Katherine Andre written to provide middle school children with the tools and language they need to resist the pressure to reject one parent to please the other.
This book is for kids, their parents and other caring adults in the lives of divorcing families. View the table of contents.
