Interpersonal Boundary Violations:
Often Missed, Often Dismissed
On Sunday, April 7, 2019, from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, Dr. Steven Miller will be our featured speaker. A physician who specializes in behavioral medicine and child protection, his topic will be Interpersonal Boundary Violations. This overwhelmingly important topic has never before been presented by Family Access.
A boundary is a line or limit that separates one thing from another. It defines where one thing ends and another begins. An interpersonal boundary separates one person from another. It defines lines of personal integrity and personal space that should be respected, and not crossed. It defines the limits of acceptable behavior between people.
The concept of boundary violations is critical to understanding alienation, enmeshment, estrangement, and related problems. For example, by definition, boundary violations are a hallmark – a defining feature – of parental alienation, pathological enmeshment, realistic estrangement, and domestic violence. Boundary violations are also a hallmark of borderline, narcissistic, and sociopathic personality disorders (which are common among alienating parents). In parental alienation, the alienating parent has violated the child’s boundaries and, in turn, the child has violated the other parent’s boundaries (“monkey see, monkey do”). Similarly, in pathological enmeshment, the enmeshed parent has not only violated the child’s boundaries but has “erased” or “obliterated” the normal healthy boundaries that should exist between a parent and a child (which is why it is called enmeshment). Typically, such parents treat their children as friends or companions, rather than children. Pathologically dependent, they use their children to meet their own needs, not the children’s needs.
Other examples abound. And yet, the recognition and significance of boundary violations has received relatively little attention. Consequently, many professionals fail to recognize boundary violations – even severe boundary violations – or fail to fully appreciate the grave risks that boundary violations pose to children, especially if the violations are repeated or ongoing over time.
Dr. Miller will provide a practical, easy-to-understand overview of these concepts. Among other things, he will address how to recognize boundary violations, why they are so damaging to children, how to intervene when necessary, and how to present such issues in court. These points should be as relevant to mental health and legal professionals as they are to parents and grandparents.
Dr. Miller has degrees in both Psychology and Medicine from Brown University and did residency training at Brown University and Harvard Medical School. For more than 30 years he was on the teaching faculty at Harvard Medical School. A popular speaker, he has directed several hundred continuing education courses for physicians and other clinicians and presented over one thousand lectures on clinical reasoning, clinical problem-solving, and clinical decision-making. An internationally-known expert on alienation and estrangement, he is also an expert witness, litigation consultant, and trial strategist.
Our monthly international seminar calls consistently have over 900 callers with 33 countries participating. These calls are of no charge to anyone. Each caller may submit one question to Dr. Miller pertaining to the subject of this call. Deadline to submit your question is Tuesday, April 2nd. This is a firm deadline! Deadline to register for the call is Sunday, April 7th at 5 PM EST. To submit your question and / or register, please email familyaccessinnc@aol.com.
You have the option to call on our conference line, audio Skype or download our desk top app.

Dear psychologists,
I have the great honor to announce you about the conference "The interdisciplinary approach of litigation with minor in cases of Parental Alienation", wich will be held on 16-17 of May 2019, in Bucharest, Romania.
Bucharest Tribunal together with an NGO - APISET Association (The Art of Innovative Projects in Education, Health and Tourism), organize for the first time in Romania an international congress devoted exclusively to the issues of children involved in the conflict between separated or divorcing parents, in fact it is about Parental Alienation.
This is the first international congress organized by a public authority in the field, that is, the biggest court in Romania that handles juvenile cases. We are talking about the Tribunal (the second instance in order of judges cases - they decisions remain definitive) who understood the gravity of the phenomenon of parental alienation and wants to organize this training of magistrates in the sense of their specialization in this delicate matter. The targeted audience will be formed exclusively by magistrates (judges and prosecutors) involved in solving this kind of cases. Psychologists are welcomed, too.
In Romania prosecutors are prosecuting criminal offenses in which they commit the offense of non-observance of measures concerning the custody of minors, harassment and ill-treatment of minors.
During this congress we will find from the reputable specialists in the field both from the country and from abroad (judges, prosecutors and psychologists) sensitive issues regarding different cases of emotional abuse exercised by the parents on the minors in the case of the separation.
The main purpose of this conference is forming the skills and abilities of magistrates judges and prosecutors through a theoretical and practical training, in order to be able to identify cases of emotional abuse exercised by parents on minors and dispose some measures in order to analyze and to take the effective measures for stopping this serious form of abuse named parental alienation, immediately. Secondly, we are planning to improve the legislation in Romania, to change the Romanian law and/or to add/change some articles from the law.
Also, the specialists in this field from around the world will sit togheter for 2 days of conference with the objective to find solutions to combat parental alienation by implementing exercise joint custody and extensive personal engagement programs as well penalizing the abusive parentby changing the child's home to the parent victim.
I would like to inform you that there is no participation fee charged for this conference, but every guest is responsible for the costs of accomodation and flight tickets. This is the policy agreed by conference organizers.
I am one of the partners of this conference with my NGO, as a president. However, the idea of organizing this conference was mine and it was accepted by the Tribunal`s staff. Therefore, if you consider it appropriate to financially support the organization of this important conference, you can donate money to this NGO account. Just let me know about it via a private message or by e-mail at: dr.simonavladica@gmail.com. For the moment we have no sponsor involved in this project because we can not have any advertising there.
Please, let me know if you are interested to attend this conference (only if you are part of target audience) because we have limited places.
I would like to have as guests to this conference, psychologists from abroad and from PASG who can contribute through their experience to the discussions held during this event. If you consider it, I would like to ask you to let psychologists know about this event and to decide by themselves if they want to attend or not.
I would be extremely pleased if you will be able to attending to this important event for the justice world in Romania and the progress of the phenomenon of parental alienation in the whole world. If you are able to come to this conference please send me an e-mail.
I look forward to seeing your answer!
Best wishes from Romania,
