Treatment of Attachment-Based "Parental Alienation"
Presented by Dr. Craig A. Childress
Description:
This lecture will outline the diagnosis and treatment of an attachment-based model for the psychological and family processes in high-conflict divorce, traditionally described as “parental alienation.” This is a follow-up presentation to an extremely well-received introduction that described, among other things, the attachment-system foundations that lead to parental alienation. You can watch that lecture here. In this presentation, Dr. Childress will set forth a clear framework for diagnosing the presence of attachment-based parental alienation, as well as the components necessary for its effective treatment and resolution.
Those who view this lecture will learn:
- The diagnostic framework for identifying when attachment-based parental alienation is, and when it is not, responsible for producing the parent-child conflict involved in high-conflict divorce
- The four key treatment phases necessary for the effective treatment and resolution of an attachment-based model for parental alienation
- The essential features of the child’s psychological experience surrounding parental alienation that are key to the child’s therapy and a restoration of the child’s affectional bond with the currently targeted-rejected parent
- The role of the alienating parent in the child’s treatment and recovery, and approaches to managing and working with the alienating parent during and following treatment
