"HOW THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC HAS MADE FAMILY SEPARATION EVEN WORSE"
On Sunday, September 13, 2020, Dr. John Killinger will our guest speaker from 8-9 PM EDT. Dr. Killinger has been one of the favorites of so many over the years. We are so fortunate to have him speak to us. His late wife Anne was the pioneer to bringing grandparent alienation to the forefront for so many of us. We are so looking forward to this call. Because it is only a 1 hour call, there will be no questions submitted.
All of our calls are complimentary and of no charge to anyone. This is a ministry of Family Access-Fighting for Children's Rights. These calls are an excellent source for both alienated family members as well as professionals who deal in alienation. Please take advantage of these calls. We have over 1,000 participants on these calls from 37 countries.
Things were bad enough as we tried to deal with the problem of family alienation in normal times. But the pandemic has made them even worse, because now our worries about our children and grandchildren are magnified and intensified by this great worldwide blight. What are some thoughts that might ease our minds and hearts during this extraordinarily stressful time? What kinds of mental discipline will enable us not only to survive this difficult period but perhaps even emerge from it with new and helpful skills for coping with other emotional problems we have to face?
Dr. John Killinger, noted author, minister, and professor, has pastored eight churches, including the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles and Marble Collegiate Church in New York City, and has taught at such major universities as Vanderbilt, Princeton, and Chicago. His wife Anne was the author of A Son Is a Son Till He Gets a Wife: How Toxic Daughters-in-Law Destroy Families, the book that spawned the alienated parents and grandparent movement in America. He himself has written more than 70 books, including three volumes of From Poppy with Love: Letters from a Grandfather to the Grandchildren He Isn’t Allowed to See. He has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs across the U.S., and served for many years as a special seminar leader for chaplains in all branches of the American Armed Forces.
Deadline to register for this call is Sunday, September 13, 2020 by 5 PM EDT. This is a firm deadline so please register early. To register, please email familyaccessinnc@aol.com.

" A Review of Specious Arguments That Are Often Used to Criticize Alienation Science: Logical Fallacies and Flawed Analyses"
On Sunday, September 27, 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 37 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, the truth is often irrelevant in court because, practically speaking, an attorney is permitted—indeed, expected—to distort the truth and mislead the court. That is euphemistically called “zealous representation.” 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, mislead the court. In the past decade, the science of parental alienation has matured to the point that bona fide specialists now understand that family dynamic quite well. The basic principles and key details are now understood quite well. That is true with respect to 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 and other abusive parents continue to claim—without basis in fact—that the science of parental alienation should be considered neither valid, nor reliable, nor admissible in court. Not only is that wrong—indeed, it is utter nonsense—but it flies 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 Court decisions 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, Charles C. Thomas, 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, faulty generalizations, non-sequiturs, and others. The bad news is that the clinical and legal literature has been thoroughly polluted by poor quality papers that, at best, misrepresent the science, and, at times, appear to have been carefully calculated to mislead. 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—as well as how to expose and refute those arguments. Likewise, the presentation will address how other professionals, including treating therapists, forensic evaluators, and Guardians ad litem, can fall prey to such arguments. Dr. Miller has degrees in both Psychology and Medicine from Brown University and did residency training at Brown and Harvard. For more than 30 years, he was on the faculty at Harvard Medical School. Board certified in both Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine, he also has many years of practice experience in Forensic Medicine and Behavioral 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. Each caller may submit 1 question that must be in relation to the subject of this call. Your complete info including question, can not be more than 3 sentences in order for it to be submitted. Deadline to submit your question is Tuesday, September 22, 2020. Deadline to register for this call is Sunday, September 27, 2020 no later than 5 PM EDT. These are firm deadlines! To submit your question and/or register, please email familyaccessinnc@aol.com. |

On Sunday, October 11, 2020 from 8-10 PM EDT, Dr. Amy Baker will be our guest speaker for our international seminar call. This call is of no charge to anyone joining us.

You have the option to call in on our conference line, audio skype or download our desk top app. Dr. Baker will focus her talk on what to do when the alienated children are adults (over 18) and legal remedies are no longer an option. She will begin with a discussion of how to tell if a child who is rejecting a relationship with a parent is alienated or estranged and then focus on how to reach out to and engage an adult alienated child. She will go through a letter writing process in some detail in order to provide listeners with a practical tool for trying to repair the relationship. Dr. Amy J.L. Baker has a PhD in Developmental Psychology from Teachers College of Columbia University. She is a nationally and internationally recognized expert in parental alienation and psychological maltreatment of children. She is the author or co-author of 8 books and over 115 articles.
