Childress : Forensic Psychology Fail

Where is the treatment outcome research over here in court-involved forensic psychology? I’m aware of a lot of opinion pieces about what people think the problem is and how it should be fixed… so what’s the research say?

There is none? That’s weird. If we take 1985 as our arbitrary starting point, that’s 35 years of forensic psychology and “high-conflict divorce” with zero research?

You don’t find that a trifle odd? Thirty-five years and zero outcome studies.

They are entirely unsuccessful. In 35 years, forensic psychology is entirely unsuccessful. I’m ahead of all of them. I have a single-case clinical research case study, presented to the APA no less.

Hey, I am a private practice clinical psychologist, I’m not at a university, I’m trying to educate an entire field of professional psychology about attachment and complex trauma and family systems therapy, I’m busy – you, forensic psychology – I’m already ahead of you. My goodness gracious, Dorcy is ahead of you in outcome research. Seriously, forensic psychology, when she publishes she’ll be lapping you.

Thirty-five years and zero treatment outcome research, seriously, that’s embarrassing for you.

I have treatment outcome data, where’s yours?

We need to bring university research here, to court-involved psychology. Thirty five years with zero outcome research on family conflict seems pretty abysmal. When Dr. Childress has more research than an entire field, that’s bad.

Let’s reach out to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, long-term they will become a support.

Research will not come from them to us, it will come from us to them. You mean us, the parents? No silly, the family courts and professional psychology.

Once the family courts and legislatures seek a solution, they will want research on the solutions. The NCTSN is a perfect partner for a university to collaborate with in outcome research. The family courts are special, they are a different area of law practice because the well-being of children is involved, and so is spousal conflict. Family law.

Up until now, for the past 35 years, forensic psychology has adopted a single approach, a “child custody evaluation” with recommendations to the court. So. Where is the treatment outcome data? There is none.

…. I don’t know what to say. Thirty-five years with your child custody evaluations and not a single treatment outcome study on the practice? Ever?

Hm… and you say you have a problem here and you’re wondering how to fix it, yet in 35 years you haven’t conducted a single treatment outcome study on child custody evaluations… yet you continued to do them.

Okay. Let me compose myself, self-regulate. Deep breath, deep breath.

There needs to be research. Not on some “parental alienation” thing, on trauma, complex trauma in your families… attachment pathology, a child rejecting a parent, that’s the attachment system, this is an attachment pathology.

“How do children respond to trauma? That all depends on the quality of their attachment system.” – van der Kolk, 2020

Great Britain, Bessel van der Kolk has wonderful commentary on the development of Bowlby’s understanding of attachment pathology from the boarding schools of England. We ripple trauma and abuse from generation to generation, contained in the parenting practices that trauma and complex trauma create.

It’s not the fist that’s the trauma, it’s the betrayal. That’s my mother, my father, that’s the person who is supposed to take care of me, and they’re dangerous. It’s not the fist, it’s the betrayal.

Betrayal of family loyalty bonds across generations. The core theme of child abuse and trauma. Oh hey look, here it is, over here, in this court-involved family conflict pathology, a cross-generational “betrayal” of family loyalty with abuse allegations.

Hm. How odd.

To find the core betrayal theme so openly displayed… yet in the other direction. Odd.

Here, it’s from the child to the parent, the child is betraying loyalty to the targeted parent, it’s not the parent who is betraying the child. Here, it’s the other direction. How… odd.

You know… I wonder if it’s the spouse, the allied parent.

I wonder if it’s the allied parent spouse who has the trauma, the betrayal trauma, so that’s where the theme comes from – and they feel “betrayed” by the other spouse, by the failed marriage and divorce, and that activated their betrayal trauma stuff, and now they are responding to their “abuser” through the child rejecting the parent – but they’re all lost and confused in their trauma limbic brain by the rejection and perceived abandonment surrounding the divorce.

Do you think that’s possible?

What do you think. You tell me mental health people, is that possible? Maybe? Could that possibly be where we are getting the core primary theme of complex trauma – betrayal – the one who should be there… isn’t – but in the OTHER direction, from a child to a parent?

Possibly?

I’m telling you. These mental health people, I could just beat them with a stick for how ignorant they are, bam, bam, bam. I understand caning now, bam, you are so ignorant. Caning mental health professionals as a disciplinary practice of licensing boards. It’s an option to consider, let’s put it to a vote.

IPV spousal abuse using the child as the weapon. Is that hard to understand? What is that, nine words? Not even ten words long. What is the difficult part of that sentence… IPV spousal abuse using the child as the weapon?

Sooo, a child is rejecting a parent following divorce, did you assess for IPV spousal abuse using the child as the weapon?

No. You didn’t. Do you know how I know that? Because I know that you know nothing at all about how to do that. Do you know how I know that?

Because you’re not doing it.

I know how to do that, to assess for IPV spousal abuse using the child as the weapon. Surely you do as well. So… do it.

Oh, you want me to teach you how to do that? Then do what I tell you to do. Otherwise, do whatever you want. If you don’t want to assess for IPV spousal abuse using the child as the weapon following divorce, that’s fine, don’t do it.

If you don’t think that’s an important to thing to assess for, one spouse using the child as a weapon of savage emotional abuse directed toward the other spouse-and-parent, if you don’t think that’s important to assess, don’t do it.

If you think that’s important to assess for in a post-divorce family conflict, then do it, assess for it. Any way you’d like, do whatever you think is best.

Just…do it. If you think it’s important to assess for IPV spousal abuse surrounding divorce, using the child as the weapon… then go ahead, I’m not stopping you, do it.

So… what did you find? How did you assess for it?

Magnetic Fields , Energy Cosmos, and more by Tom Kenyon

The magnetic field of earth is involved in a perturbation or morphing.
This is taking place interdimensionally, 
and the net effect is incremental surges
in amplitude or strengthof the magnetic field 
This morphing of earth’s magnetic field
is like a wave that rises and falls very quickly, and
the oscillations are minute, but distinct. This is having
a very strange effect upon human consciousness, 
specifically your biological experience.
Many people are experiencing an increase of exhaustion and weariness. (these symptoms are also caused by movements of energies  from deep space as they pass through 
your galaxy and your solar system.)
But this (perturbation) is of a different category. 
This is caused by the magnetic field itself, 
which is responding to the deep energies from space.
It is a response of the molten core of your earth itself; and
the magnetic field is having a conversation with the cosmos,
if you wish to think of it in this metaphorical way. 
Now, your 
science does not view things in this manner, but from 
our perspective the magnetic field is having a conversation 
with these cosmic visitors, the energies from deep space
, which are, by nature, catalysts for spiritual evolution.
Another set of symptoms directly related to the perturbations of
your magnetic field are distinct changes in how you hold short term memory—because memory is a function of the magnetics of your own nervous system and that of earth. 
Your brain processes information through the minute gravitational andnon-gravitational fields of it’s own structure and it is affected directly by fluctuations in the earth’s magnetic field. 
And so you can expect an increase in short term memory anomalies. You may find yourself speaking a sentence and suddenly the words do not come to you or you mix up the words from their normal syntax. 
While in some cases this is the sign of a brain disorder, 
you will find this happening within the general populace at an increasing rate. Escalations in collective short-term memory glitches will lead humanity to a most novel situation.
This situation is an opportunity or a curse,
, depending on how you work with it.
The opportunity is to see through the mental matrix of
your own creation. What we mean by this is when your mind 
is unable to continue its story line in the ways it is used to,
you have an opportunity to glimpse the realities behind
the curtain (of perception). 
You are the ones who have created the curtain, and 
you have done this to keep yourselves separated from things you do not wish to see or experience directly, 
or in some cases what others do not wish you to see 
or experience directly. 
We refer here to the unseen manipulators of 
your collective reality—
those who hold the economic and political reins of power.
We have said before that there are forces on your planet 
that actively resist
the impulse for spiritual evolution. 
They are invested in continuing their lies through
the misappropriation of information in order to control you. 
Their job is getting more difficult.
Their job is getting more difficult because the perturbation of
 the magnetic field creates gaps in the creation of mental realities projected by the human mind. 
They – 
meaning those who wish to control and manipulate you –
have vast resources at their command, and they 
are employing every one of them. But they cannot control 
the magnetic field of the earth! And for this, 
you should give thanks.
The impulse that is affecting the magnetic field of the earth comes from far beyond their locus of influence. It is
our expectation, based upon our understanding of
hyper-dimensional physics, that the perturbations of 
your magnetic field are going to increase over the next several years. Those of you who are sensitive energetically are the ones feeling this most intensely at the present moment, 
but we suspect that in the next two to three years most people will be affected by this in a way they are consciously aware of, even if they do not know why.
We have a couple of suggestions for dealing with the situation.
Our first suggestion is the easiest. It involves understanding 
your connection to the core of the earth itself. 
As an energetic being, in addition to your flesh and blood,
you can form a conscious energetic relationship
with the core of the earth.
This understanding, or orientation, is that you are immersed in and surrounded by, earth’s magnetic field. 
By going into mental resonance with the core of the earth
(the generator of earth’s magnetic field), 
you become energetically stabilized. The earth, 
as a conscious being, can reveal herself to you in ways
that are difficult to describe because your culture does not have a language for this. And you have been manipulated and controlled to insure that you do not have an awareness of this, for it could be one of your greatest strengths.
By entering into resonance with the core of the earth 
you become more conscious of the earth as a living conscious being. 
Through this link, you receive a type of energetic-solidity—
even in the midst of earth’s increasing chaos.
The odd thing about it, however, is that when you bring
yourself to your senses, so to speak, you are less controllable, less “manipulatable” by those forces that control the thought stream of humanity through mis-information, manipulation 
and mind-control.
In other words, forming a direct conscious relationship 
with the earth’s core bypasses many of the affects
of what we call life-negative technologies.
If you wish to do something in addition to entering into
mental resonance with the core of the earth, we suggest using your pranic tube, a subtle energetic channel that runs from above your head, through the center of your body, and 
into the earth. This tube, this channel, 
can be extended deep into the earth, down into the very core itself, and also above the head deep into space.
 In this method you are not dealing 
with extending the channel beyond the top of the head. Instead,
You only extend the channel into the core of the earth.
But the essential thing is not so much the sending of this channel into the earth. The essential thing is to understand that you are in resonance with the core of the earth simply by knowing it. This will impart a sense of stability even in the midst of increasing chaos. It will awaken your senses.
 It will bring
you into greater conscious relationship to earth. And,
we must caution you that it will also de-hypnotize you—
make you less controllable. And you will see through
the lies around you more clearly !
The second suggestion involves developing a conscious relationship
to the core of the galaxy.
Essentially, understand that you can be in resonance with the core of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is a black hole, and
that in similar ways to being in resonance with the core of the earth, 
you can become stabilized in relationship to the galaxy.
If you are capable of this, simply hearing this described to you will activate the knowingness of how to do it. 
It is not a complex affair. It is quite simple, 
but requires the understanding that
a part of you is not limited by the time and space coordinates 
of your physical body.
It requires an understanding that consciousness can extend instantaneously, anywhere in time and space, and by extending your consciousness
to the galactic core,
you are stabilized in relationship to the galaxy.
The ideal is to be in relationship to earth’s core and
the core of the galaxy simultaneously.
Then you will be able to ride the waves of energy
from deep space with a greater degree of mastery.
But, again, we caution you that this will make you less controllable, harder to hypnotize, and then you may
have the very odd experience of waking up while many around 
you are still asleep. 
What you do with this awareness is, of course,
Your choice and your response-ability.

In my our case so much truth lay in the following post by Craig Childress, PsyD

as these past 20 years ignored , has led to this more factional, well documented

finale …the desired result is liberation for each of us , from allies who remain

united to serve the lie .. Sadly , realizing the trauma and healing , indeed truth

nor our son’s physical nor mental health was incentive to be authentic , as he

pledged them to a contract , he had not intention of honoring …its a life

long pattern , a never ending drama that the light of truth and fact can and

will dispel .. There is an order of things however ..As I do my own inner

and outer work , in spirit I council which I haven’t charged for , and I do

find ” bridge work” , asking for aide for those who cannot , teaching manifestation

faith , and blessing others , ie playing it forward ..

Today I was part of that magic 👍🏼🌈💗☮️

Speaking up for targeted parent , speaking up for children , extended family and friends

and especially professions whose job is , to protect ….in not knowing do much harm .

Childress leads a movement, that can and will educate , and demand reform

for that is our job , our hearts and souls .

Abused, ignored and cast away in a power trip that feels like the never ending

horror story .

Over finances , lovers , not happy ?

Your families contain a trauma pathology… an attachment trauma.  In trauma world it’s called complex trauma, and your families are the rippling of complex trauma from one generation to the next.
The current location of trauma is in the allied parent.  This person has unresolved childhood trauma, attachment-related complex trauma, that is now being transferred to the child by the aberrant and distorted parenting practices that this unresolved trauma creates.
Once we know trauma, the patterns are evident.
The pattern mimics actual trauma, so it confuses the ignorant, they think it’s actual traumatic parenting now by you, the targeted parent, that’s causing the symptom features of trauma in the child’s presentation (rejection, hostility, and expressed anxiety and fearfulness).
Those are all presumed to be the symptoms of child abuse and trauma. They’re not, but ignorance doesn’t actually know that, because ignorance has never actually worked with child abuse and trauma.
Those symptoms by the child, hostile-rejection and expressed anxiety and fearfulness, are what someone would imagine the child’s symptoms to be from child abuse, they’re wrong.  Those are not the symptoms displayed by authentically abused children.
It is a display, a kabuki theater of supposed trauma and victimization – a reenactment.
It is a reenactment of the allied parent’s own childhood complex trauma experience, now played out with the current family members, each assigned their roles in the psychological drama.
The child is cast into the pivotal role as the “victimized child” who needs protecting from the “abusive parent.”  The targeted parent is automatically cast into the villain’s role by the child’s “victimized child” role, as the supposedly evil “abusive parent.” This casing then allows the allied parent to self-adopt and conspicuously display the coveted rescuer role, the all-wonderful “protective parent.”
It’s all a false drama. A story, a ripple of themes created long ago, in complex trauma, relationship-based trauma, of the allied parent growing up.
Freud talked about it.  He called it the transference, the transfer of trauma patterns from childhood to current family relationships, the acting out and reliving of childhood trauma in current relationships.
Bowlby talked about it. He talked about our internal working models of attachment, patterns of expectations that guide and direct all our future bonding relationships.
Beck talks about it. He calls them the schemas that are formed in childhood experience, patterns in our brain that organize our perceptions of subsequent events and relationships.
van der Kolk talks about it.  He calls it the reenactment of trauma into the current family relationships.
Trauma is a dissociative pathology, it affects identity organization.  People sometimes call it personality disorder pathology, narcissistic and borderline.
The allied parent’s complex trauma was reactivated by the failed marriage and divorce, triggered by the rejection and abandonment from the spousal attachment figure. Those are attachment trauma triggers.
The reactivated trauma-anxiety creates a persecutory delusion that drops into the trauma pattern of childhood; “abusive parent”/”victimized child”/”protective parent” – a false story imposed on now.
This is the origin of the persecutory delusion shared by the child and the allied parent.  The allied parent “induces” the child into believing the child is being “victimized” by the targeted parent, the “victimized child” role of the false drama, the reenactment of trauma from long ago.
The allied parent is the “primary case” of the false drama, the delusion, and this parent “gradually imposes” the false beliefs onto the child – to destroy the child’s bond to the other parent.
For secondary gain.  The allied parent is imposing a delusion onto the child – in order to destroy the child’s bond to the other parent; secondary gain. This is where the DSM-5 diagnosis of Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another (Munchausen by proxy) becomes a prominent diagnostic consideration.
Listen to what the American Psychiatric Association says about the parenting in this pathology.
From the APA: “Shared Psychotic Disorder can occur in larger number of individuals, especially in family situations in which the parent is the primary case and the children, sometimes to varying degrees, adopt the parent’s delusional beliefs.” (American Psychiatric Association, 2000)
From the APA: “Usually the primary case in Shared Psychotic Disorder is dominant in the relationship and gradually imposes the delusional system on the more passive and initially healthy second person.” (American Psychiatric Association, 2000)
From the APA: “The essential feature of Shared Psychotic Disorder (Folie a Deux) is a delusion that develops in an individual who is involved in a close relationship with another person (sometimes termed the “inducer” or “the primary case”).
The allied parent “imposes” a delusional belief system onto the child, the allied parent is the “inducer” of the child’s persecutory delusional beliefs in supposed  “victimization” (the “victimized child”), in order to destroy the child’s relationship bond with the oher parent, the targeted parent – “targeted” for a brutal and savage form of IPV spousal abuse using the child, and the child’s “imposed” and “induced” delusional pathology, as the weapon.
None of this is me.  None of this is a “new theory” of Dr. Childress. That is simply ignorance.
Google ignorance: lack of knowledge or information.
Google sloth: reluctance to work or make an effort; laziness.
Google negligence: failure to take proper care in doing something.
The ICD-10 diagnosis of a Shared Psychotic Disorder is F24.  Creating a delusional-psychotic pathology in the child that destroys the child’s attachment bond to the other parent is a DSM-5 diagnosis of V995.51 Child Psychological Abuse.
Apply knowledge to solve pathology.  Ignorance solves nothing.

Show Me Love

Love ❤️ is flowing , and won’t be altered by unauthentic

masked aliens …

Personally , over 10 years ago I relocated to lose an induced

run of negative life experiences , that have taught me well.

Self forgiveness, Self understanding

Self Love ❤️ Are Light points… for many , delayed or denied

in fear of owning shadow… I have a sense of this in many

especially males who have been challenged in early attachment

or non attachment and all in between , never allowed to question to be

armed with facts , digested , healing or healed

so its anger or isolation, indeed how to cope

and step out of being considered a doing rather a being ,only .

Step out of being controlled , in any way.

Learn trust of your intuition, discover your creative passions .

Surround yourself with possibilities .

Learn better communication skills , Listen with head and heart ♥️.

Healing your Mother wounds , nurturing yourself is Love you deserve.🎁❤️

Waking to that is life altering , has no time limit , is a 1 man job .

and alighted much support is provided .

Feminine are waking to the masculine still in the possession stage and

as such she is little more than a domestic , surely not paid ,*** combat

hazards ignored , while death of physical, and spiritual , are excused

as are the effects of this family dynamic real , epidemic and showing

in greater numbers as generations search for love 💕, home and happiness.

It does seem crazy , insane …how many industries thrive up

fractured , angry , divorcing parents .. As so many special children

require so much more

The efforts I have made towards achieving this lay like the crumbs

Hansel and Gretel. Allowing Divine to guide me ..

Joy remains , as Sun pops out , in bright agreement
