"Targeted Parents Surviving Parental Alienation:

Consequences of the Alienation and Coping Strategies​.​"

Saulyn Lee-Maturana, Mandy L. Matthewson, Corinna Dwan. (2020)

Journal of Child and Family Studies

Highlights

● 23% of targeted parents in this study reported that they have attempted suicide.

● Practitioners should asses targeted parent’s suicide risk when working with them.

● Targeted parents experience distress as a genuine response to their predicament, but this distress can be perpetuated by negative automatic thoughts.

● Targeted parents may benefit from learning coping skills including cognitive restructuring techniques.

● When targeted parents lose contact with their children, they suffer ambiguous loss, which can lead to disenfranchised grief.

Parental Alienating Behaviours

are Child Abuse & Family Violence. 

This serious form of abuse and family violence can no longer be ignored.  Parental alienating behaviours must be acknowledged in Australia as it is in other parts of the world. We need legislation that  not only acknowledges its existence but firmly and clearly legislates against it.
