16th Symposium on Child Custody: Workshop 22 Evaluation
Lessons From the Trenches of Reunification
Professionals dig deep to investigate the resist/refuse dynamics to rescue the child, only for the child to say they do not need to be rescued. This presentation provides a unique perspective by interviewing an adult child of an alienation dynamic to better understand how it impacted her life, causing harmful consequences in childhood and adulthood. The panelists will discuss the professional key players and need for collaboration, red flags professionals should watch for, and how professionals can help the parents where this dynamic is present.
