Overcoming the Alienation Crisis [EPUB ebook] 
33 Coparenting Solutions

You may have picked up this book on the recommendation of your therapist or attorney. At this point, you are likely sick and tired of coparenting with someone you see as the problem-someone you believe deserves very little or no parenting time. Each uncomfortable interaction with your coparent seems more troubling and stressful than the last. Perhaps the conflict has even reached the point that your child is now resisting or refusing contact with you or the other parent, and your family is now in a crisis. Did you pick up this book because you are searching for a way forward that will bring some relief from the conflict and even peace-if you dare hope for that? You are not alone in searching for a solution. This is a crisis that has confounded professionals and the courts. Doctors Moran, Mc Call, and Sullivan are three psychologists who together have many decades of experience working with high-conflict parents. They regularly write professional articles and make presentations at conferences for counselors, attorneys, and judges about high-conflict coparenting problems including alienation, domestic violence, and parents with mental health conditions. They know from experience that coparenting is never easy, even in the best of circumstances and also that splitting up one household with children into two separate households is guaranteed to require some adjustments for both parents and children. Children challenge even the most skillful coparents. It has also been their experience that generally after hefty resources are spent, the courts find it is in the child’s best interest to have a relationship with both parents, and the courts will order the family into reunification therapy that offers skills development suggestions similar to those described in this book. Overcoming the Alienation Crisis: 33 Coparenting Solutions is a must-have resource for professionals and parents wanting to restore parent-child relationships. Psychologists Moran, Mc Call, and Sullivan present a balanced view of alienation, coparenting conflict dynamics, and parent-child resist refuse problems. Drawing on decades of experience as clinical forensic experts with family court cases, they drill down into the everyday challenges and dilemmas parents face when a child resists or refuses contact with a parent. Coparents who feel like they have been fighting a hopeless war will discover new understandings about why parent-child contact problems are so difficult to resolve. In a Q&A format, coparents will find 33 hands-on solutions, strategies, and tips for frustrating yet all-too-common coparenting situations and predicaments such as Your child believes horrible, slanderous things about you. Your child refuses to go to their other parent’s home. Your child refuses calls, texts, and gifts from you. Your child says they don’t want to be around their new stepparent. This book will serve as a compass and a guide to move you beyond high conflict and into family peacemaking. The hope is to help you remove your children from the crosshairs of your continual conflict. All proceeds from the sale of this book go to Overcoming Barriers, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization.
