Childress On Legal Contact for Consultation

Any suggestions? No, I’m not a legal professional.
With that being said, If you write me a consultation letter briefly explaining your situation, like a hypothetical – assume these facts to be true – I can offer an opinion from clinical psychology – if the facts presented are true… I would be concerned about…
The issue for the court to decide is whether the facts presented in your consultation request from me are consistent with the facts in the case.
The issue is child psychological abuse. That is not a clearly defined or recognized pathology, although it is a recognized DSM-5 child abuse pathology by the American Psychiatric Association.
Child abuse is not something we should delay on.  We need clarity sooner rather than later.
The reason you are consulting me is because of my specialized expertise in child abuse pathology (Clinical Director for a three-university assessment and treatment center for kids in foster care) AND specifically in child psychological abuse.  You’d be hard-pressed to find a more advanced expert in child psychological abuse.
You sound concerned for your client that the severity of the child psychological abuse in this matter is not being properly identified (diagnosed is the psychology-word).  You are reaching out for additional consultation with a clinical psychologist expert in child psychological abuse – use my vitae for support.
Frame the – assume these facts to be true – for me.  I cannot make any statement out the actual family. I have not interviewed them.  I can provide you, as an attorney, with applied information from established clinical psychology surrounding your matter – assuming that what you tell me is true.
If you want, that would be my suggestion – pro bono – save the kid some money on their college education. drcraigchildress@gmail.com
I cannot render an opinion on a legal matter or legal strategy. I can apply the established knowledge of clinical psychology to a set of facts – assuming those facts are true.
If I personally conduct the assessment, I don’t need to assume anything.  I see the pathology directly.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
