Welcome to our podcast Parental Alienation: From Couch to Courtroom and Beyond. We will discuss the resisting and refusing dynamic, commonly referred to as Parental Alienation, how you know it’s happening and what can be done about it. The literature and research will be presented and shown how this form of child abuse is a traumatic adverse childhood experience. Parental Alienation can cause stress and trauma in high conflict divorces. These podcasts focus on how attorneys and mental health professionals can support families and children.
This episode moves through cognitive psychology, developmental science, and forensic interview methodology. This episode: establishes that basic cognitive science demonstrates that memory is constructive, not reproductive; discusses Elizabeth Loftus’ research as to what happens when that constructive system is subjected to systematic adult suggestion; reviews the Satanic Panic period and the McMartin case that shows what happens when institutional contexts amplify suggestion on a mass scale; and then maps the mechanism directly onto the alienating parent’s operation on the child’s memory system.

Exploring The Alienated Child's Relationship with the Favored Parent - PODCAST Ep. 28
All too often legal and mental health professionals focus strictly on the rejected parent and alienated child's relationship. The real pathology is actually in the other direction. The focus needs to be on favored parent and the child. Because it is counter instinctual (unnatural; biologically inconsistent) for a child to reject a parent, when this is observed in family court cases we need to pay attention. And the details are in the pathological relationship. Please visit www.naopas.com or www.drbobevans.com for more information on parental alienation and Dr. Evans.
Impact of Splitting Narratives - PODCAST Episode 27
Alienation cases frequently find the professionals associated with the case also split in advocating for one side or the other when in fact they are supposed to be neutral or at a minimum supporting the child. Frequently researchers publish "me-search" supporting a position that reflects their bias. All one has to do is dig into their references and you that they quote others who have simply said the same unsupported statements. While all this is going on the children are left in an abusive, alienating relationship. Please visit www.naopas.com or www.drbobevans.com for more information on parental alienation and Dr. Evans.
