Program Summary

Parental Alienation (PA) allegations can result in serious and long-lasting consequences for the parent and the child. The phenomenon of PA has been acknowledged and endorsed by family courts across the United States and internationally. Nevertheless, misinformation regarding PA theory continues to be published in journals and books. This propaganda of misinformation (and at times, disinformation) threatens to compromise court outcomes.

This program will give you the details about the extent and magnitude of the propaganda of misinformation about PA and provide you with the tools to rebut and debunk the misinformation in litigating cases involving PA.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Parental Alienation and its underlying scientific support
  • Is there a difference between alienating a child and protective gatekeeping?
  • Recurrent Misinformation Regarding PA
  • Difference between Misinformation and Disinformation
  • Debunking Propaganda of Misinformation and Disinformation in Court
