"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 Deadline to register for this call is Sunday, September 20, 2020 no later than 5 PM EDT. This is a firm deadline!
