Monstermatt narrates 'The Monster Minute' on the 6 Foot Plus
podcast, which is either the best or worst minute of the show. He
is the wizard of bad monster jokes, and is now sharing them with
you. His catalogic command of horror film knowledge is only equaled
by his terrifying talent for creating and illustrating bad puns. If
you love monsters, puns, or bad jokes, settle in for a horrifyingly
good time.
We are seeing an increase in high conflict, adversarial divorce
cases in mental health practices and in the courtrooms around the
country. These cases present with a significant amount of parental
conflict and, as a consequence, represent a threat to the children
caught in the middle of these conflicts. Curiously, there is a
great commonality among these cases in terms of the tactics
alienators use to separate a parent from his or her children. It is
almost as if they, the favored parent, were reading from a
published playbook. Many evaluators and clinicians include Parental
Alienation (PA) as well as Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) in
the same category when discussing this topic. PAS is acknowledged
as being extremely controversial. It is controversial within the
mental health profession and equally controversial within the legal
profession. The purpose of this work is to share ideas, thoughts,
background, theory and some experiences in working with high
conflict families. It is important for professionals to get a sense
of both sides of the PAS issue. Whether one uses PAS as a term, the
problems brought by these cases are very real. The reluctance to
consider PAS by name in the psychological and legal communities
tends to contribute to the perpetuation of the problem in a variety
of ways. Like any other designation, PAS can be and is misapplied
and misused. Whether or not it is the appropriate diagnosis or
description of behavior in a case must be determined by facts of
that case and supported by evidence and data from multiple sources.
An appropriate diagnosis and identification of PAS, along with a
description of the severity, can make the difference between timely
and effective interventions or allowing parents and children to be
scarred for the rest of their lives. This work was compiled from a
number of recordings of continuing legal education workshops and
seminars that the authors had conducted over the last few years. In
addition, the content was embellished with content from a number of
papers that the authors published along the way. Some of these can
be seen on the authors' websites, www.drbobevans.com and
www.jmichaelbone.com . Also, the works of Richard Gardner (1998),
the original author of the disorder referred to as Parental
Alienation Syndrome, were reviewed and selected ideas and content
are inserted into this work. Both authors are contributors to the
proposed diagnosis for inclusion into the next edition of the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual published by the American
Psychiatric Association and some of that work is include herein.
The authors are very grateful for having the experience and honor
of working with Dr. Gardner when he was alive. He was a man of
unusual talent, a prolific writer and a pioneer in the field of
forensic psychiatry. Unfortunately, much of his work is misquoted,
exaggerated and at times misunderstood. This book is simply a
snapshot or overview of Parental Alienation and Parental Alienation
Syndrome and should be used as an outline in working with this
disorder. Readers are encouraged to read Dr. Gardner's works and
others thoroughly in order to have a working knowledge so they can
work with the children and families who have become victims of this
terrible malady.
