I recently had the pleasure of appearing on #FamiliesDividedTV with Zach Flood, MA, LLP. In this exclusive webinar: “When Instinct isn’t Enough: Navigating Parental Alienation for Parents and Clinicians," we discuss — among other things—the difference between estrangement and alienation dynamics, distinguish high-conflict divorce from other separation/divorce cases, and review best practices and interventions in alienation cases. Our goal is to empower parents to be knowledgeable of how to intersect and work with the mental health and legal professions/ community as well as assist mental health and legal professionals on the complex clinical landscape of navigating parent-child contact problems in custody disputes.
