Craig Childress PsyD / Consulting

I’m settling into my daily tasks, and I had an inquiry regarding my possible involvement in a foreign matter.

I had previously spoken with the parent on a first of the month general public consult – now the parent was re-contacting me saying things were getting worse.

The parent wanted to know if I would consult with the involved mental health professional (of course I will, my scheduling assistant can get them onto my calendar for a consultation – have them email my assistant and me).

The parent also suggested possibly bringing me in as a second-opinion on document review (reports) surrounding the matter.

I wrote a response… as I was writing the response I thought, “other folks might find the information useful” – so here’s the information cut-n-paste (almost) from my email to the foreign parent,

__________________

I am available as a second opinion consultant to any interested mental health professional, or to the court through a document review and second-opinion on the information reported.

To establish a consultant agreement would involve a ‘scope of service’ agreement. Do you want me to consult with a mental health professional – or do you want me to provide a second-opinion on documents?

This is something you should discuss with your attorney – how might my involvement be most useful?

Individual Consultation to MH Professionals

If a mental health professional wishes my consultation on a matter, they can email Maggie to get onto my calendar. No scope of service is needed for individual consultation hours.

What is needed is the motivation of the mental health professional to seek consultation. I already have much informational material available on my Consulting Website as well as three articles on ResarchGate and multiple YouTube seminars on the pathology, it’s diagnosis, and treatment.

I am available for consultation to any mental health professional who wishes to consult (no scope of service agreement is needed for this task). If you would like me to review documents and provide a second opinion, we can set up a meeting for a scope of service agreement regarding the task.

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 ..
