Slam the Gavel
Slam the Gavel welcomes Lynn Steinberg, Ph.D. She has been working with families, couples, groups, and individuals. Dr. Steinberg has specialized in working with children and adults abused as children for more than 40 years. We discussed topics of the Coercive Control SB 1141. She worked in the courts as an expert on sexual abuse with children, adults, and in the workplace. Her interest and background grew naturally to embrace the psychological abuse of Parent Alienation, which she has specialized in for the last 10 years. This includes false accusations of sexual abuse. She offers a Four Day Intensive Family Reunification program for Alienated Parents and their alienated children. It takes place in Los Angeles. She is an expert witness in Parent Alienation in the Childrens’ Court and Family Court. She can also testify to the treatment of members of the Alienated Family and assist with Court Appearances.
Dr. Steinberg is a trained Mediator and has mediated for the Superior Court.This book was written for the Alienated Parent, whether in the beginning or advanced stages. So many reactions, such as:
"You must have done something to your son/daughter to have caused them to not talk to you?"
"When people get divorced, the blame is 50/50; so what did YOU do?"
In therapy:
"You have to listen to your son/daughter without getting defensive or telling them what they are saying is not true. It is their reality!"
"Your child is old enough to choose not to live with you", at times said when the child is 11, 12, 13, 14 and up years of age! Children cannot drive, drink, vote and do many other things until they reach a certain age. Why is a brainwashed child legally supported in rejecting a once beloved parent?
"Your son/daughter is an adult. They couldn't still be under the influence of the other parent and his/her family"
The answer to all the above is "ALL OF THE ABOVE STATEMENTS ARE FALSE, FALSE, FALSE!"
Despite the naysayers who insist that there is no such thing as Parental Alienation, there is! It has been thoroughly well-documented and researched since the 1930's. PARENTAL ALIENATION IS CHILD ABUSE and it is time for the Courts, Attorneys, Guardians Ad Litem, The Department of Child Protective Services, Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Physicians, Families and Friends, to recognize it for what it is and put a stop to it.GIVE A COPY OF, “You’re NOT Crazy, Overcoming Parent/Child Alienation,” TO ALL OF THE ABOVE SO THEY CAN BE EDUCATED ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE PHENOMENON
