"Logical Fallacies and Flawed Analyses: 
A Review of the Most Common Specious Arguments
Used to Criticize Alienation Science in Court and Elsewhere"

​On Sunday, September 20, 2020 from 8-10 PM EDT, Dr. Steven Miller will be presenting on a very important topic that brings the knowledge needed on this particular subject. This call is of no charge to anyone. It is a ministry of Family Access-Fighting for Children's Rights. We are fortunate to have the top experts in the world regarding alienation on our calls. If you are an alienated family member or a professional who deals in alienation, these calls are of great importance to you I can assure you. The knowledge and support given on these calls is critical in helping these children and grandchildren in having a much better opportunity to have a relationship with ALL their family. Please take advantage of them. There are now 38 countries that participate on these calls with well over 1,000 participants. You have the option to either call in on our conference line, audio skype or download our desk top app.

Lawyers have a saying: You can’t prove a lie. Although technically true, lies can be strikingly effective in court. Indeed, especially in alienation cases, the truth is often irrelevant because attorneys are permitted—if not expected—to distort or obscure the truth. That goes hand in hand with their obligation to provide “zealous representation.” And, only partly in jest, attorneys have a saying about that, too: If the facts are on your side, argue the facts; if the law if on your side, argue the law; if neither is on your side, confuse the court. 

In the past decade, the science of parental alienation has matured to the point that bona fide specialists now understand the family dynamics quite well. The basic principles and key details are understood. That is true for diagnosis, prognosis, causation, and treatment. What’s more, the science has been codified in numerous peer-reviewed journal articles and reference books. And yet—unsurprisingly to anyone familiar with the adversarial U.S. court system—attorneys who represent alienating parents continue to argue—without basis in fact—that the science of parental alienation is neither valid nor reliable. Some have argued that even the concept of parental alienation is not admissible in court. Not only are such arguments egregiously incorrect—and demonstrably incorrect—but they fly in the face of a recently published, seminal study by Lorandos that found—using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria—that between 1985 and 2018, 1181 Appeals Courts in the U.S. found the concept of parental alienation to be material, relevant, probative, and admissible (see chapter 9 in Parental Alienation: Science and Law, edited by Lorandos & Bernet, 2020). 

Thus, there is often a huge gap between what the science actually says and what alienating parents and their attorneys claim it says—in court and elsewhere. 

The “good” news is that alienators and their attorneys tend to use a predictable set of specious arguments, along with certain well-known logical fallacies, that are relatively easy to expose and discredit—if one knows how. (For lay readers, a specious argument is one that sounds true but is actually false.) Common logical fallacies in such cases include straw man arguments, red herrings, circular arguments, false assumptions, faulty generalizations, non-sequiturs, and others. The bad news is that both the clinical and legal literature have been thoroughly polluted by poor quality papers that, at best, misrepresent the science and, at times, appear to have been carefully-calculated to mislead their readers—including the courts.

This presentation will focus on some of the most common false and misleading arguments offered by attorneys and others who represent or support abusive alienating parents. It will also address how to expose, discredit, and refute those arguments, in court and elsewhere. 

Dr. Miller has degrees in both Psychology and Medicine from Brown University. He did residency training at Brown and Harvard. For more than 30 years, he held a faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School. With four decades of practice experience in Forensic Medicine and Behavioral Medicine, he is also board certified in Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine. A cognitive scientist and medical educator, he has directed several hundred continuing education courses for physicians and other clinicians and has presented more than one thousand lectures on clinical reasoning, clinical problem-solving, and clinical decision-making. He is also an experienced expert witness, litigation consultant, and trial strategist.

 Deadline to register for this call is Sunday, September 20, 2020 no later than 5 PM EDT. This is a firm deadline! To register, please email familyaccessinnc@aol.com.

MISSION  STATEMENT

Our main concern is the children and grandchildren and then the complete family.  Sadly the children and grandchildren who are alienated from family are being treated as pawns and property. They are neither. They are human beings.They should not be regarded as such by their parents or any other family member.  We contend that it should be illegal to use children as pawns or instruments of spiteful behaviour in an effort to prevent them from interaction with ALL other family members.  Our purpose and goal is to ensure the preservation of extended, traditional family relationships. In the process of this hell on earth called alienation, we need all the knowledge, support and resources we can get to help our children and grandchildren and then ourselves. Professionals who deal with alienation in helping families will glean much from this website as well. To contact us, please email familyaccessinnc@aol.com.

GOALS

  • We will work in bringing awareness, education, and support  to people on the subject of alienation and the effects it has on both the children, grandchildren and their families. Alienation is abuse! We will have many of our top experts and professionals regarding alienation in the world sharing information on their own pages here to help you learn more on alienation and other topics regarding alienation. We are also expanding our web site with much more information including locations of support groups in your area, professionals in your area who do have knowledge of alienation as well as blogs by experts and testimonies from alienated family members and also books that can help you on this subject of alienation.
  • To offer international seminar calls with guest speakers who have expertise in the subject matter for that call in giving support and knowledge to alienated family members and professionals who work in the field of alienation. Parental alienation and grandparent alienation and all other family members is hell on earth as too it is for the children and grandchildren dealing with this. These calls are a tremendous help to those going through this and those who work with those who are. There is no charge to any of this as this is a ministry to help those in need and also help professionals in dealing with this. Please join us.

HISTORY

In April 2012, Family Access- Fighting for Children's Rights was founded by Elaine Cobb who is also president. Elaine herself is alienated from her granddaughter Dare who she has never seen and is now 9 years old and her adult son Bryan who she has not been a part of his family's lives since December 26, 2010. Her granddaughter Dare is alienated from her whole side of her daddy's family. This is why she determined to try in helping make a difference in this abuse being caused to the children, grandchildren and family members. In the beginning, her goal was to help those in the state of North Carolina where the founder  and president, Elaine Cobb resides. In just a short time, Elaine realized that alienation was a huge epidemic which was indeed all over our world. She realized at that time she wanted to do all that she could to help those suffering through this hell on earth. This is her ministry and she charges no one for any of our sources for you. She started the international seminar calls nationwide. In less than a year, she took the calls on an international level. Now Family Access- Fighting for Children's Rights helps in supporting 37 countries in educating as many alienated family members and professionals in regards to alienation through our international seminar calls. 

We also know one of the biggest ways to defeat alienation is to bring more awareness to those who know nothing or very little about alienation. This website was designed with that in mind as well as giving information to alienated family members to help them know all they can to get through this and one day hopefully be able to see their alienated loved ones. It is also here to help professionals i.e.., attorneys, mental health professionals, judges, legislators, school officials, researchers, writers, child advocates, etc. There is much to learn and we hope to give all as much as we can to help.

Laws must be changed as well to protect the rights of these alienated children and grandchildren to see ALL their family members. Family Access- Fighting for Children's Rights has worked tirelessly for equal shared parenting laws as well as grandparents' rights. We will continue in this fight for all the children and grandchildren in our world. Alienation is abuse!!!
