Spontaneous
Reunification
There are few experiences more heartbreaking
than being the target parent in a Parental Alienation campaign--your
own children are withheld from you and taught to despise you.
Often these situations are so contentious that intervention
by a court or mental health professional is not permitted or
is ineffectual. However, according to psychologist Douglas C.
Darnall, Ph.D., author of
Divorce Casualties:
Protecting Your Children from Parental Alienation, new research
shows that there is often good cause for hope in these situations--"Spontaneous
Reunification."
"Spontaneous Reunification" is when a child
attempts to reconnect with a rejected parent on his or her own
initiative. Darnall and his co-author, Barbara F. Steinberg,
Ph.D., have identified parents and children who experienced
reunification without any intervention from the courts or by
a mental health professional. Darnall detailed how and why
Spontaneous Reunification occurs and how such reunions can be
encouraged on His Side with
Glenn Sacks on December 19.
Also joining Glenn was Allen Green, author
of the powerful new novel
Blind Baseball:
A Father's War. Green has experienced PAS and reunification
firsthand.
