Usually in my Psychology Today articles I address my specialties—marriage education and self-help for negative emotions. At the same time, I recently have had a number of clients in my clinical practice who face parental alienation situations. Their challenges totally tear at my heartstrings, motivating me to write on this subject. The difficulty is that attorneys, judges, and the mental health professionals who advise them on cases of parental alienation too often lack enough understanding of the phenomenon of alienation to create appropriate outcomes.
This post reprints letters sent to me from two parents who contacted me by email after reading my earlier posts on alienation. Both of these parents have given me their permissions to reprint their letters. I then respond with an explanatory open letter to each of them.
