Toxic Divorce: A Workbook for Alienated Parents – Kathleen M. Reay, Ph.D.
If your clients are undergoing the devastating effects of a high battle divorce, Toxic Divorce: A Workbook for Alienated Parents provides up-to-date scientific knowledge, understanding, real-life examples, step-by-step directions, and powerful strategies to deal with the ramifications of parental alienation (PA) or parental alienation syndrome (PAS). Toxic Divorce is a must read for clinicians. Families where PA and PAS exist are not a matter of business as usual; entirely different therapeutic skills are needed. Therapists who are not trained in the special techniques that these families require often fall into the trap of believing the alienating parent and the programmed child and make the egregious mistake of contributing to the problem.
For more information, go to http://www.parentalalienationhelp.org or http://www.iipas.org. Dr. Reay is currently offering workshops for families and professionals throughout North America, if you or your group are interested in attending one please contact us: drkathleenreayevents@shaw.ca or toll free: 1-888-208-8565
