Dr William Bernet, M.D.

Parental alienation is a complicated, problematic and specialist area of mental health, family functioning, child protection, social policy, and law. It damages child–parent attachment and destroys families. Parental alienation wrecks emotional and mental well-being, child psycho-developmental prospects, and quality-of-life for hundreds of thousands of vulnerable and alienated children and adults.

Attachment-Led Theory and Practice in Parental Alienation draws on the best practice of top experts to enhance awareness, early intervention, knowledge, practice, and better outcomes for children. This book is an essential resource for families and community members, all types of child professionals, legal advocates and decision makers, legislative and policy officials, schools and teachers, contact centre staff, mental health professionals and students.

Dozens of family members and child professionals have rated Attachment-Led Theory and Practice in Parental Alienation as excellent.

An attachment and neurological focus enables parental alienation’s child development and mental health harms to be understood in significant but often legally overlooked terms of loss, and Adverse Child Experiences. The causes, processes, and stages of parental alienation, and their impacts on children and families are addressed in detail. There are pointers to assist risk identification, symptom manifestation, initial evaluation, and dozens of real case examples throughout the book. Suggestions are provided to assist professionals to report effectively towards justifying the correct assistance being provided to children and families, at the right time. The legal approaches of several other countries to parental alienation are compared to the UK. There is optional certification for Continued Professional Development.
