Parental Alienation: From Couch to Courtroom and Beyond
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.
