Mess in our legal system : Craig Childress PsyD

What a mess in our legal system.

The focus of everyone is on our legal system both as it functions and what a mess it is.

That’s good for us here in the family courts because… the family courts are a mess too.

It’s not the judges. Engoran was an honest broker who runs a trial fairly, Chutkin is an honest broker who runs a trial fairly. Merchan is an honest broker who runs a trial fairly.

Cannon on the documents trial may be biased by her political loyalties… which goes to show the system is not pure of personal motivations.

But for the most part, while recognizing possible bias issues with human judges, I’m not holding the judge’s responsible for the failure of professional psychology.

The failure is psychology’s not the court’s failure – and it’s professional psychology who’s failed – massively failed – the children, their parents, and the courts.

The courts do what the courts do, it’s the psychologists who’ve failed in their obligations. First we need to fix the broken mental health system response, and then we use the fixed mental health system to fix the broken legal system.

Two steps: one we fix the healthcare response, two we fix the legal system response based on the fixed mental health system.

We’re riding the winds of a tornado – the legal system’s swirling – wheee – let’s swirl too into changes that make things better, faster, easier, smoother, without all the fighting.

The moment a “high-conflict” triggering criteria is met, we should be routinely bumping out all the court-involved custody cases for a mental health risk assessment for child abuse to the differential diagnoses of concern for each parent – each litigant in the proceeding.

Both litigants – both parents – are making allegations of child abuse against the other. So… let’s get that properly assessed to the concerns of both litigants – both parents.

That’s easy. That’s simple. That’s better.

Just routinely bump-out high-conflict custody cases for a risk assessment to the differential diagnoses of concern – authentic child abuse – or – a shared (induced) persecutory delusion, i.e., child psychological abuse.

One way or the other it’s child abuse… so… let’s just pop it out to the mental health people for a proper risk assessment for the child abuse concerns of each litigant – each parent.

In four to six weeks we could have a returned diagnosis for around $2,500 – $5,000 with a second opinion, and I’d recommend we get a second opinion all all court-involved custody conflict assessments.

The appellate system for a disputed diagnosis in healthcare is second opinion. Rather than get a second opinion sequentially which just wastes a lot of time – get a second opinion simultaneously through telehealth (or from a case consultation group with other court-involved professionals).

We should always be getting a second-opinion on court-involved diagnoses because… we need to end the fighting surrounding these children… AND… we need an accurate diagnosis 100% of the time.

The pathological parent manipulates the court system for delay-delay-delay, all the while increasing the pathology in the child, deepening their psychological hold on the child.

This is child abuse. This is the threatened overthrow of American democracy. The legal system needs to move faster in response to child abuse. We can do that when there’s the motivation to do that.

Is the Supreme Court motivated to protect the nation?

We’re swirling in a cyclone of parallel process everywhere, a truly chaotic and turbulent flow. Hold on. Let go because there’s nothing to on to.

There are lines moving – lines of entangled meanings, lines of entangled motivations. A pathogen, like Covid of our minds, is in active inflammation within us.

It’s a pathogen we’ve seen before. Last time, we defeated the pathogen through violence. Now, this time, it’s within us rather than out there.

It’s come again to its purpose. It’s evolved since the last time. This time, instead of attacking us from the outside, it’s attacking us from the inside. It has us attacking ourselves,

The legal system is swirling. It’s time for change.

We need to protect all children from all forms of child abuse 100% of the time. We can do that when there’s the motivation to do that.

They’re not currently motivated to do that.

Don’t let trauma of the world define your world – Craig Childress PsyD

Don’t let the trauma of your world define your world.

You are more. If you have the eyes to see – we are more than the struggles of life. We are life.

We have an obligation to live a life. Don’t let the trauma captivate you, don’t let it dominate your world. Do what you can do when you can do it – develop a plan then execute the plan. Then let go.

Your plan is to get a treatment plan. We’ll figure out how to do that. When you’re not doing that, it’s okay to have a life with beauty and kindness and love.

The world has its rhythms, find the rhythms that surround you, hear the music that is your life… when you listen to your life.

It’s a weird world with lots of twists and turns we never expected, lots of turns we never wanted, and we’ve dealt with a lot of nonsense to get to wherever here is.

Yet always spring comes in spring, and summer follows, then the trees turn to beautiful reds and golds and the winter months come – again – always.

You’re a flower. Did you know that? A funny looking flower that walks about on legs, but you’re a beautiful flower nonetheless, and the universe wants you here. I know because you’re here.

If the universe didn’t want you here, you wouldn’t be here. You’re here… a beautiful flower of life living a life it was destined to live. We ripple traumas from before, we work them through and out.

Rains come and our roots grow more deeply into the soil. Without the rain, the world is a desert. The sun comes after the storms and warms our souls with the life of its life. You’re a flower growing to your uniquely flowery ways through the seasons of time.

Storms will come again. So will the sun. Followed by storms, followed by sun. It’s the way of things. So are you if you listen, if you have the eyes to see.

Flowers are beautiful gifts from the universe to make our lives more beautiful. So are you.

Pathogen of Lies – Craig Childress PsyD

The Pathogen Attacks to Defend

The pathogen attacks threats to it. It attacks viciously to destroy the threat. The pathogen never defends, it always attacks – viciously.

You can see that clearly in the parallel process. Not only direct attacks, flying monkey attacks beneath the surface. The pathogen seeks allies and indirectly directs the allies to attack the target.

I know that. I’m a threat to the the pathogen. It will attack me seeking to destroy my life and career. I know that.

That’s why no clinical psychologists work in the family courts. It is too dangerous. We refuse. We gave you your own “special” psychologists just for you, we call them “forensic” psychologists and they are the worst imaginable… and we don’t care.

If you threaten the license of the doctors… the doctors won’t come to work with you. Here, have these instead.

The pathogen will seek to destroy my life and career. That’s a fact of trying to help you. I will need to be attack proof. I must not allow the pathogen any path to attack me.

But that’s impossible, I’m a human, no human is invulnerable to attack by lies, and the pathogen lies. I cannot become invulnerable to attack… so I must vanish entirely.

This is a pathology of lies. I need to be attack proof. That’s impossible, I can’t be attack proof to lies. In the solution, I will need to vanish. I understood that. I constructed the solution on two separate lines. One line allows me to vanish, while the other line provides guidance from my knowledge to those seeking guidance.

One line is entirely the established knowledge – that’s Bowlby-Minuchin-Beck, the DSM-5, and the APA ethics code. The other parallel line is AB-PA of the Diagnostic Checklist and 12 Associated Clinical Signs.

One’s the over-line. One’s the under-line. There are always two lines moving.

There’s an underline to these twin over-lines involving more me-specific knowledge that I don’t speak about so as not to distract. Once you stop fighting and start listening, I can tell you more about the pathology and its solution.

But first things first. Before I can appear I need to vanish into the knowledge. Twirly thing.

I need to become non-existent by relying entirely on established knowledge. That’s the over-line. There’s no me here, only established knowledge. Attack Minuchin. Attack Bowlby. Attack Beck. Attack Tronick.

I’m standing on the solid Foundations of applied knowledge.

The pathogen has no avenue of attack because there’s nothing me that’s here. I’m like old-man Luke where he’s getting blasted-and-blasted by the bad guy son of Han, and when it’s all over Luke’s still standing there untouched… because he’s not there, he’s on another planet and that’s just an empty image – hee-hee-hee. Luke was clever.

Like that. I’m not here – just knowledge – hee-hee-hee. I’m clever too.

The pathogen attacks – this feature is written large in the parallel process that surrounds us. It always attacks, viciously to destroy. If you’re going to handle this pathogen, be ready to handle a dangerous snarling beast.

It captivates minds. Again, look to the parallel process to see the process of captured minds. It’s a cult-mind. It obtains allies in its attacks.

People who see the pathology liken the mind-control feature to a cult-mind. Everyone who sees the pathogen in our current social surround sees the cult-mind quality of the pathogen’s mind-manipulation

It is a cult-mind, it’s an induced persecutory delusion – a shared persecutory delusion.

That’s the pathology. A shared delusion cannot – cannot – see itself. That is a neurological impossibility for a delusion because… that’s the nature of a delusion. No amount of evidence will ever change a delusion.

It is thought disorder, that’s the pathology domain. The type of thought disorder is a delusion – a fixed and false belief maintained despite contrary evidence. The type of delusion is a persecutory type, a fixed and false belief in supposed victimization.

It’s a problem in thinking and perception. A persecutory delusion is a fixed and false belief that the person (or someone to whom the person is close) is being malevolently treated in some way.

From the APA: “Persecutory Type: delusions that the person (or someone to whom the person is close) is being malevolently treated in some way.” (American Psychiatric Association, 2000).

Narcissistic and borderline personalities are known to collapse into persecutory delusions under stress. That is a known fact – cite to Millon, cite to Barnow.

Divorce is stressful. The pathology of concern in the family courts is a possible shared (induced) persecutory delusion and false (factitious) attachment pathology imposed on the child for secondary gain to a narcissistic-borderline-dark personality parent.

So… let’s assess for the pathology of concern.

I don’t know about you, but that seems kinda obvious to me. If we’re worried about a possible shared (induced) persecutory delusion in the family… then let’s assess for a possible shared (induced) persecutory delusion in the family.

The only cause of severe attachment pathology is abusive-range parenting by one parent or the other. The only diagnostic question is, which parent?

So… let’s answer that question with certainty so that we can develop an effective treatment plan to fix the problem. Diagnosis guides treatment. If we treat cancer with insulin the patient dies from the misdiagnosed cancer.

What’s the diagnosis? Which parent is abusing the child?

In all cases of court-involved custody conflict involving severe attachment pathology displayed by a child, a proper risk assessment for child abuse needs to be conducted to the appropriate differential diagnoses for each parent.

All cases. Every time.

When possible child abuse is a considered diagnosis, our diagnosis needs to be accurate 100% of the time. Misdiagnosing child abuse is too devastating to the child.

I’m a threat to the pathogen. The pathogen will attack me and seek to destroy me. I know that. This is the most dangerous pathogen on the planet. I know that too.

I need to vanish. I’m not really here. Attack Bowlby. Attack Minuchin. Attack Beck and van der Kolk, and Tronick. Attack the DSM-5. Attack the APA ethics code Standards 2.01, 2.04, & 9.01.

Because me? I’m just a clinical psychologist. I apply knowledge, I don’t create it. The established knowledge of the discipline is what it is. The APA ethics code says what it says. Reality is reality. Attack reality.

It will. This is a pathology of lies. This is the most dangerous pathogen on the planet, and it’s in the family courts unrecognized and untreated. We need to see it – diagnose it – and treat it.

Professional psychology is failing in its obligations to the children, professional psychology is failing the parents, and professional psychology is failing the courts.

Professional psychology needs to step-up to its obligations and provide the courts – and the children – with the highest caliber of professional services – the highest.

A child’s life hangs in the balance of the court’s decisions. This is potential child abuse one way or the other. The court needs and deserves the highest caliber of professional information, and the child needs the highest caliber of professional services.

This is possible child abuse. We can’t get this wrong.

With this specific pathology – with a shared delusional disorder – if you believe the shared delusion, you become PART of the shared delusion, you become PART of the pathology.

When that pathology is child abuse, you, the mental health person, become PART of the child abuse because of your negligent and incompetent misdiagnosis.

When that pathology is the emotional and psychological spousal abuse of the targeted parent using the child as the weapon, you, the mental health person, become PART of the spousal abuse because of your negligent and incompetent misdiagnosis.

Oh my. Does that mean there are mental health professionals working in the family courts who are child abusers and spousal abusers of their clients?

Yes.

That makes my head explode. Once it’s acknowledged that it’s child abuse, once the shared-induced persecutory delusion is diagnosed… that has implications for misdiagnosis as well.

We need to fix the problem. The pathogen does not want to fix the problem. The pathogen will be threatened by me trying to fix the problem. The pathogen will attack me – with viciousness seeking to completely destroy me.

I know that. I’ve prepared for that. I’ve vanished entirely into the knowledge. Apply knowledge to solve pathology. Ignorance solves nothing.

The twin minions of the pathogen are ignorance and indolence. The mental health system in the family courts has been infected with both. We need to cleanse the pathogen’s allies of ignorance and indolence from professional psychology in the family courts.

Forensic psychology in the family courts is a failed experiment in service delivery to a vulnerable population.

Forensic psychologists – specific people with names – are acting to disable the mental health system response to the pathology in the family courts for their own financial and career status gain.

Clinical psychology – diagnosis and treatment – needs to return to court-involved custody conflict.

But the moment the forensic psychologists admit their failure, the moment the pathology in the family courts is identified as Child Psychological Abuse (DSM-5 V995.51)… that means they misdiagnosed the pathology the entire time – for decades.

The lives of thousands upon thousands of children and their parents were destroyed because of their failed experiment and misdiagnosis. For decades, the forensic psychologists participated in child abuse and spousal abuse using the child as the weapon.

You know it’s true. You were there. It happened to you. You watched it happen. You know it and I know it… and they know it.

We are now in the cover-up phase before change. Change will require acknowledging their failure – they won’t do that – we must do that before we can change.

You did nothing wrong. It’s not your fault. Bad people did bad things. We are going to make them stop.

The damage has been done to so many – no more damage. Enough. We need an accurate diagnosis to guide the development of an effective treatment plan to fix the problem.

Full stop.

Craig Childress PsyD – Factitious Disorders

Factitious Disorders

Diagnosing a Factitious Disorder is challenging. It requires identifying something that is NOT there. It’s a false disorder.

A classic symptom for a factitious medical disorder imposed on another is a huge-huge patient medical record with no clear cause or diagnosis for the symptoms. That’s the first tip-off for doctors of possible FDIA – a huge-huge chart with no clear diagnosis.

It takes a long time to diagnose a Factitious Disorder because we must first rule-out all the real disorders as possible causes. It’s a diagnosis by rule-out – a diagnosis of something that’s not-there – it’s a diagnosis of a non-disorder.

That’s because no one expects a Factitious Disorder. Who creates pathology, who WANTS to be pathological, so much so that they’ll fake being sick? No one does that. No one wants ADHD or depression, no one wants a disorder… some people do.

It’s for something called “secondary gain” – that’s the motivation, the secondary gain, the reward – it could be money (fraud) – it could be the attention received from doctors – it could be gratifying some pathological need within – but there’s a hidden reward that the person is receiving in creating a false pathology.

Are they doing it on purpose? Are they aware of the secondary gain they receive? Or are they creating the false pathology from unconscious motivations, needs for attention or to be seen as the ever-giving “all-wonderful” parent who is nurturing their child’s needs?

It typically takes a long time to diagnose a Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another (FDIA; DSM-5 300.19) because everyone starts off by believing the false disorder – no one expects a false disorder. Who creates a false disorder? That’s a pathological human, and everyone expects normal-range as being typical.

It’s only over time as they administer one set of tests after another without finding the cause, they try this treatment and that looking for some possibility, but nothing solves the symptoms. Only after lots of time and effort does it occur to the doctors that – you know… I don’t think this is real. I think the parent’s inducing the disorder in their child.

It takes time to diagnose a false disorder because no one expects a Factitious Disorder – who does that? Who creates pathology in the child for secondary gain? A severely pathological parent.

Yep.

In the family courts surrounding child custody conflict, the secondary gain for false allegations and creating false pathology in the child is huge and immediate. In the family courts, FDIA should be a primary initial rule-out diagnosis.

Is the child’s attachment pathology real or induced by the pathogenic parenting of a severely abusive pathological parent?

Who does that? Who creates pathology in their own child? No one. It’s a rare disorder – but not as rare as one might think. A dark personality is highly manipulative – Machiavellian levels of manipulation – off-the-chart manipulative… they’ll create pathology in an instant for the secondary gain it provides.

They win the custody conflict immediately. They’re determined to be the “better parent” automatically just by the allegation. They control the narrative by creating the pathology in the child – the supposedly “victimized” child.

The secondary gain in the family courts to making false allegations of abuse and for inducing a false attachment pathology in the child, a shared (induced) persecutory delusion about the other parent, is huge. It confers absolute power to the pathological parent for child custody.

It allows the pathological narcissistic-borderline-dark personality parent to punish the other spouse forever as the normal-range parent fights back against the false allegations, defamation, and slander to their reputation.

The pathological parent wins from the start. Who creates pathology in their child, who destroys their own child’s life to meet the needs of a parent? No one… except a few.

False allegations of abuse immediately win the custody case for the pathological parent based on the child protection concerns that are present while the allegations of abuse are investigated. The courts are made irrelevant by the false pathology induced in the child.

The symptom confers power.

In the family courts, FDIA created by a manipulative narcissistic-borderline-dark personality parent should be expected, it should be an initial rule-out. While no one else expects a Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another, for court-involved clinical psychologists it should be expected, it should be a primary rule-out.

Rule-Out 1: Authentic child abuse

Rule-Out 2: FDIA; a shared (induced) persecutory delusion and a false (factitious) attachment pathology imposed on the child by a narcissistic-borderline-dark personality parent for the secondary gain of manipulating the court’s decisions regarding child custody.

It’s time to talk about FDIA. I’ve explained cross-generational coalitions, I’ve explained shared persecutory delusions. I should describe a Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another – this.

Look around at the situation… this… is the explanation. This is the pathology of a factitious attachment disorder being imposed on the child by the pathogenic parenting of a pathological parent. Do you want an example of FDIA… this.

There is the personality pathology of the pathological parent – narcissistic-borderline-dark – creating the deeply pathological needs of the parent… the motivation. There’s the reward – the secondary gain. The child’s false pathology confers power.

FDIA should always be a prominent rule-out diagnosis in court-involved custody cases.

Rule-out authentic child abuse. Rule-out FDIA.

Let’s talk about FDIA over coffee this Sunday here on Facebook Live at 8:00 Pacific.

Repair is where the action is – Craig Childress PsyD

I’m finishing up a report on a report and I included a series of quotes from Tronick & Gold (2020). I thought I’d share them with you.

“Repair is where the action is.”

From Tronick & Gold: “Moving through messiness turns out to be the way we grow and develop in relationships from earliest infancy through adulthood! This might seem counterintuitive as you might think that in healthy relationships, there is no place for discord. Shouldn’t two people in a good relationship always get along? Previous infant research has reflected the assumption that the more synchronous and attuned the interaction, the more optimal, or clinically “normal” the relationship. To many people’s surprise, the research revealed that messiness holds the key to strong relationships,.. In typical healthy parent-infant pairs, on average 70% of the interactions were out of sync!” (Tronick & Gold, 2020, p. 37)

From Tronick & Gold: “Does it seem right to you that most relationships are mismatched 70% of the time? We found this again and again. In the field of developmental psychology, this 70-30 split has become famous, with some practitioners referencing it without actually knowing its origin. It comes from our detailed observation of the primary love relationship. In analyzing these videotapes, we discovered that the most important part was not the mismatch but the repair.” (Tronick & Gold, 2020, p. 37-38)

From Tronick & Gold: “Repair is where the action is. We came to recognize that repair is the crux of human interactions. Repair leads to a feeling of pleasure trust and security, the implicit knowledge that I can overcome problems. Furthermore, repair teaches a critical life lesson: the negative feelings that arise from a mismatch can be changed into a positive feeling when two people subsequently achieve a match. One does not have to get stuck in a negative feeling state.” (Tronick & Gold, 2020, p. 38)

From Tronick & Gold: “We came to understand mismatch and repair as a normal and ongoing experience fundamental to our species development as social beings. What a relief to learn that in primary love relationships, humans are in sync only 30% of the time! That the number is so low should relieve the pressure many people feel to seek perfect harmony in their relationships as adults. As long as there is an opportunity for repair, mismatch in 70% of interactions is not only typical but conducive to positive and healthy development in relationships. We need the normal messiness in order to trust each other.” (Tronick & Gold, 2020, p. 39)

From Tronick & Gold: “We prefer to capture the range of a child’s experience with a different set of terms: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Good stress is what happens in typical everyday interactions, what we have seen in our videotaped interactions as moment-to-moment mismatch and repair. Bad stress is the stress represented in the still face experiment by the caregivers sudden inexplicable absence… Ugly stress occurs when the infant has missed out on the opportunity for repeated experiences of repair, as in situations of emotional neglect, and thus cannot handle any sort of bigger stressful event.” (Tronick & Gold, 2020, p. 134)

From Tronick & Gold: “Children growing up with insufficient experiences of mismatch and repair are at a disadvantage for developing coping mechanisms to regulate their physiological behavioral and emotional reactions. We use the term regulatory scaffolding to describe the developmental process by which resilience grows out of the interactive repair of the micro-stresses that happen during short lived, rapidly occurring mismatches, the caregiver provides “good-enough” scaffolding to give the child the experience of overcoming a challenge, ensuring there is neither too long a period to repair nor too close a mismatch with no room for repair.” (Tronick & Gold, 2020, p. 135)

Tronick & Gold (2020): The Power of Discord. Once we return the the application of the established scientific and professional knowledge of the discipline, a wealth of professional knowledge becomes available.

The Dark Tetrad- The Core of Evil – Craig Childress PsyD

They decapitated babies and children.

Who could do that? The Dark Tetrad.

Narcissistic – psychopathic – extremely manipulative – sadistic. The core of evil.

The Dark Triad is evil. The Dark Tetrad is more evil still.

The Dark Triad and Dark Tetrad are extremely malevolent humans. The Dark personalites are in the family courts un-diagnosed and un-treated.

That is a seriously bad situation for the family courts.

Craig Childress Psy D – Lining em up

“ you’re ex is delusional and retaliatory”

As Childress has discovered, the “ network” won’t let one of theirs go down for wrong doing .. I filed with the board against my psychiatrist, and had a gal very interested . She warned me I’d have to testify; I was ready ..

My last communication to her was ready by a man , who wrote to tell me , that my case was dropped.

As long as Social Services, Child Protective Services , therapist, psychologist stay mired in their accredited knowledge , of non growth , that’s in service to the best interest of the child , and in denial of what all is constituted in that child, and won’t testify in courts , parents will keep having the poor results we now experience .

Childress

The Oregon matter is resolved. The Oregon appellate court returned its decision in favor of the licensing board.

The Oregon licensing board sanctioned me $7,500 for providing a consultation report to Dorcy Pruter and the Conscious Co-Parenting Institute, a business organization in California, the state where I am licensed, about the CRM data profiles they generate.

Apparently Dorcy and CCPI don’t exist and her clients automatically become my clients. I’ll be posting my de-identified report to Ms. Pruter and CCPI this weekend so everyone can read exactly what it says.

I did not treat anyone in Oregon. I did not diagnose anyone in Oregon. I did not assess anyone in Oregon. I did not speak with anyone in Oregon. It remains unclear exactly what I did in Oregon that represents practice in Oregon without a license.

I will be posting the court’s decision to my website this weekend so everyone can read it. I’ll unfold my response in layers.

This is not the end. It’s the beginning. The line just opened. It required voluntary sacrifice. I’ll explain as things go forward. I can speak now about things I couldn’t speak about before.

The pathogen’s attack is complete and done. Now it’s my turn. Once the retaliation was initiated, there was no hope. I knew that. My attorney saw it as it was revealed.

Stupid pathogen. My CRM reports were bait. It took the bait. I provoked the attack from forensic psychology. I had to voluntarily take a hit for you and your children.

This line requires sacrifice to open. Paid.

Now it’s my turn, and I have all the time in the world.

The pathogen couldn’t reach me directly so I had to help it. I had to give it a vulnerability that wasn’t actually a vulnerability. I began consulting to Dorcy and her CRM. She paid me for two hours for reports that took ten to produce.

Why did I provide consultation to Dorcy? It wasn’t for the money? Two hours pay for ten hours work is not worth it. Why did I do it?

Bait. It couldn’t reach me if my consultations remained solely with attorneys. Consulting to Dorcy made me vulnerable, or so it appeared. The pathogen took the bait.

I crafted my reports knowing they’d be attacked by forensic psychologists on the licensing boards. It was only a matter of where and when. Since they were sumitted to the court by attorneys, I remained protected as an expert.

It was Oregon where the forensic psychologists had opportunity – and they took it.

Do you know who Wendy Bourg is? I’ve introduced you to Wendy Bourg, right? Read her online reviews.

Oregon makes perfect sense. Arizona maybe, there’s a vipers nest there as well. But Oregon is an open infection, it makes sense it was there. Once I saw the retaliation had begun, I had to remain silent and allow it full latitude to enact itself.

How deep does it go? Play it out. It’s played. Now it’s my turn.

I hooked it. It attacked. It wounded me but didn’t kill me. That’s going to be a problem for the pathogen. I’ll recover just fine. Now I have all the documentation I need on it everyone. Some call it data. Some call it evidence. I think of it as documentation.

The pathogen has infected professioal psychology, and it is disabling the mental health system response to the pathology in the family courts. It needs to be cleansed from professional psychology.

I’m a whistleblower exposing the corruption of forensic psychology in the family courts – it runs deep.

The cover-up and collusion with unethica practice extends into the American Psychological Association. I had to document it in the APA. I did.

There’s a ticking time-bomb I planted in them with the Petition to the APA… it’s still waiting. I’ll explain as I unfold the information.

I have the AFCC documented on record. I have the documentation on the entire cast of characters here in the family courts, from the PAS people to the forensic people, I know who they are.

I have documentation on Bernet, Gottlieb, and Harman. I have documentation on forensic psychologists. I have documentation on Jean Mercer. I have documentation on the AFCC. I have documentation on the APA.

Now I have documentation on the licensing boards.

That’s the last one. I can speak now. I didn’t want to disrupt the evidence by influencing it. It didn’t want to disturb the pathogen’s slumber and sense of security.

I wanted it confident and comfortable. I constructed bait. The pathogen attacks. I know that.

Stupid pathogen.

When I first started working with Dorcy, I had to orient and instruct her that I’m radioactive, My role here is to document what’s here. I’m a whistleblower. I’m collecting data. All contact with me becomes part of the record… so be careful around me.

Do not say anything you’ll regret. My role here is to document what’s here – all of what’s here. Done.

I needed you to act exactly as you act. You can’t know the lines that are unfolding. Notice I have not published any journal articles? Why is that?

I didn’t want to disturb the data field as I as collecting the data. The pathogen has infected the mental health system. It needs to be cleansed. The pathogen in the mental health system is disabling the mental health response to the pathology in the family courts.

Who is going to believe that the APA is covering up unethical practice? I needed the evidence to support that allegation. I have the evidence.

Who’s going to believe that forensic psychologists are participating in child abuse? I needed the evidence to support that allegation. I have the evidence.

Who’s going to believe that the licensing boards are corrupt and don’t enforce ethical Standards? I needed the evidence to support that allegation. I have evidence.

I have everything now – even on the individuals who populate here. Everyone. I know who they are. I’ve documented them into the record. I have everything I need now.

This was the final piece – the forensic psychologists on the licensign boards… the licensing boards are corrupt. The pathogen hides extraordinarily well. The pathogen is exposed on attack.

You’ve known that the licensing boards are corrupt, you just can’t prove it. I’ve got the evidence now. It took the sanctions hit from their retaliaton to get the necessary data – the evidence – the documentation.

Now I need to unfold the lines of evidence.

Now it begins. The line that is opening requires sacrifice to open. It must be sacrifice voluntarily given. It’s done. I have sacrificed for you. I’m done.

You’re on your own now. I can give you nothing more. You have everything you need, young Jedi.

No clinical psychologists will work in the family courts. I’ve been alerting you to the coming line. My role was to make it safe for them to return. I failed.

They won’t come now. If it’s not safe for me, it won’t be safe for them. Sorry. Looks like you won’t be able to find competent diagnosis or treatment for your child and situation.

If the licensing boards are sanctioning Dr. Childress and not the unethical forensic psychologists even when presented with evidence, then it is NOT safe for any clinical psychologist to work in the family courts. If I’m not safe… no clinical psychologist is.

You can forget about the DBT and IPV therapists coming to the family courts. I’m sorry for those recommendations. Never mind. No one will come now. You’re on your own.

I have no idea what you’re going to do. Probably crash and burn and lost contact with your children. I don’t know what to tell you. All you have are the foresnic psychologists and they’re ignorant like a rock. The clinical psychologists won’t work here, nor should they.

If a clinical psychologist asks me if they should work in the family courts I will say no, don’t work in the family courts. Go work with a pathology where your not in danger.

If I’m not safe, they won’t be either. They won’t come, nor should they. They should not have to put their license on the line just to be helpul. They won’t.

I did. For you and your children. I took the hit to expose the location and nature of the corruption. I documented it. Some call it data, others call it evidence. I have everything now.

My work is done.

What do I do about finding treatment for my child Dr. Childress?”

I honestly don’t know. it’s a mess. I suspect it’s going to get worse.

You’re in trouble. You are headed on a path where the family courts will have no mental health professionals. None. The forensic psychologists will leave with Dr. Childress prowling the courts and as they face more and more board valid board complaints.

Even if they remain, they are ignorant like a rock. They’re useless humans.

Parents should make the licensing boards cover-up over and over, then contact your legislators to ask them for oversight of why the licensing boards are not enforcing ethical Standards?

The Oregon board sanctions against me are retaliation by the forensic psychologists because my CRM report was used to file a licensing board complaint against the involved Oregon forensic psychologist. That was the only use that my CRM report to Dorcy Pruter and CCPI was put to.

The father wanted the CRM report. The only use he made of the CRM report was to support a board complaint he made to the Oregon licensing board about the involved Oregon forensic psychologist. So in response to the board complaint against the forensic psychologist, the Oregon licensing board sanctions me for exposing the unethical malpractice of the Oregon forensic psychologist.

Stay tuned.

The licensing boards are corrupt. They are under the influence of the forensic psychologists and they are covering up for their unethical malpractice. They all do the same thing. If they sanction the other forensic psychologist, they’ll have to sanction themselves.

That’s the line that is open now and it will be unfolding.

It needed sacrifice to open. I needed to take the hit to expose it. I did. I took the hit to me for you. Now the sacrifice is done. Now it begins.

The pathogen gains early traction on its first attack. Catch it. Turn it. Expose it. I’ll be role-modeling that for you. First, catch it. It gains early traction.

The pathogen hides. The pathogen is exposed on attack. I know that. I had to allow it to attack me to expose it. The pathogen has infected professional psychology.

It has to be cleansed from professional psychology, it is disabling the mental health response to the pathology. Before it can be cleansed it has to be seen. The pathogen hides extraordinarily well. It is exposed on attack.

Give it bait. My CRM report is the bait. it’s masterfully constructed. Wait until you see it and I explain exactly how it’s crafted. And just wait until you hear the testimony of board’s forensic psychologist expert about the CRM report. The bait caught the pathogen.

Now it’s time to reel the fish in.

It’s not enough to simply expose the pathogen, I’ve described it in detail. We must also expose the enabling allies in professional psychology – the forensic psychologists… and their control of the licensing boards.

How do you think things got so bad over here? Isn’t it obvious? Whose job is it to enforce ethical Standards? I’ve known the licensing boards are corrupt since I first arrived here. Of course they are.

That’s why no clinical psychologists will come to the family courts. We know we face sanctions delivered by the forensic psychologists on the licensing boards just for not being forensic psychologists.

And there is nothing we can do about it. Laws, truth, and reality don’t matter… we are not forensic psychologist so the forensic psychologists on the licensing board will sanction us just for that.

Why do you think there’s no DBT or family systems therapy in the courts? Why do you think you only have made-up treatments like a mythical “reunification therapy”? No – zero – clinical psychologists will work in the family courts.

Your ex- is dangerous – delusional and retaliatory. Forensic psychologists on the licensing boards are dangerous, they’ll sanction us just for not being forensic psychologists.

This is their turf, their cash cow. They own you. They won’t let you escape.

I have documentation of that now. All of it. I have documentation of everything going on in the family courts. Oh my goodness, am I ever the goldmine of information for an investigative jouralist. That’s what I’ve been doing – collecting the documentation on what’s here.

I think of it as documentation. Others call it data. Others call it evidence. Same thing – documentation – data – evidence.

I’m a whistleblower. This is retaliation. No one would believe me if I said the licensing boards are corrupt. Now I have the evidence. It’s a tad complex in its current form, but I’ll simplify it for general consumption.

I have everything now. My next steps will be to become licensed in Washington state and Oregon. Getting licensed in Oregon makes the issue of the Oregon sanctions moot.

My credentials are pre-certified by the National Register of Healthcare Psychologists, the purpose of this organization is to facilitate portability of license. It’s like being pre-approved for a home loan.

But even when I get licensed in Oregon, I will still NOT provide any consultation to any Oregon parent, to any Oregon attorney, or to any Oregon mental health professional from now until forever. It’s a risk management decision.

As I rise in stature within the family courts, Oregon being fully dark to all parents, attorneys, and mental health professionals may arise as an increasingly uncomfortable issue for Oregon residents.

Sorry, but I’m not working with you. It’s risk management decision.

Everyone will understand as the information unfolds. I will be posting to my website my CRM report, the testimony of the board’s forensic psychology expert witness, and the court’s decision. I will unfold the information in layers one after the other.

Starting this Sunday on Facebook Live. That’s when I’ll begin. This is definitely one you’ll want to watch. They are saved to my YouTube channel.

Today I posted to my blog my attorney’s email to me telling of the court’s decision. Tomorrow, I’ll be posting to my blog my response to my attorney.

Saturday, I’ll post my de-identified CRM report I wrote for my client, Dorcy Pruter of the Conscious Co-Parenting Institute.

Sunday, I’ll respond on Facebook Live. It begins.

I’ll be fine. It’s just a minor hit on me. It’s a procedural issue of jurisdictions, not an ethical issue. I will have more to say, much more, but in layers.

Here we go. You’re in trouble. If Dr. Childress isn’t safe, no clinica psychologist is. I’ll explain everything starting this Sunday.

Good luck. You’ll need it.

Craig Childress PsyD – Ready / Child psychological abuse

What should I talk about this Sunday. I think I’ll talk about the arrival of the Kraken.

Let’s talk about the destruction of everything everywhere. Wheee…

It’s here and it’s not leaving anytime soon. Once the Kraken’s been released, it will remain until it wants to leave – destruction of everything everywhere.

The construct of “parental alienation” is dead – the Kraken. Forensic custody evaluations are dead – the Kraken. Clinical psychologists won’t work in the family courts, it’s too dangerous.

There will be no mental health services available to the family courts. Sorry.

The family courts will become too professionally dangerous, no psychologists will work in the family courts – the Kraken – the destruction of everything everywhere. My oh my.

From U.N. Human Rights Council: “The report demonstrates how the discredited and unscientific pseudo-concept of parental alienation is used in family law proceedings by abusers as a tool to continue their abuse and coercion and to undermine and discredit allegations of domestic violence made by mothers who are trying to keep their children safe.”

Monkeys running amok like Jumanji. Destruction of everything everywhere is what Krakens do. Don’t release a Kraken unless you want destruction.

We do.

You’re lucky I’m here. Where else are you going to find someone who knows about Krakens? I’ve kept you safe. We’ll have to let the destruction pass, that’s what Krakens do, they destroy everything they encounter.

But it’s not random. The Kraken comes to a purpose. Just stand aside and let it move to its purpose, that’s why it’s here.

The Gardnerian PAS “experts” are feeling it, Gottlieb & Harman are self-destructing, the UN Council on Human Rights is forcefully stepping on them (“unscientific pseudo-concept”), and Dr. Childress is full-bore attacking them with the APA ethics code – and with reality. Oh-my-goodness, they’re gone.

The forensic psychologists are next. The NY Blue Ribbon Commission on Forensic Custody Evaluations is just the start. Forensic custody evaluations are dead.

From Blue Ribbon Commission: “By an 11-9 margin, a majority of Commission members favor elimination of forensic custody evaluations entirely, arguing that these reports are biased and harmful to children and lack scientific or legal value. At worst, evaluations can be dangerous, particularly in situations of domestic violence or child abuse – there have been several cases of children in New York who were murdered by a parent who received custody
following an evaluation.”

There’s going to be no mental health services to families in the family courts. None.

And if you can’t claim it’s “parental alienation”, what possible defense do you have? Oh my goodness, you were in such terrible danger. That’s okay. I know about Krakens, I’ve kept you safe during the time of destruction.

There’s no such thing as “parental alienation” – agree 100% – then switch it – we’re not talking about that, we’re talking about a shared persecutory delusion (Childress, 2015). Remain under my wing and you’ll be safe until the destruction passes.

Come – come – come – gather up, right under my wing here. That’s perfect, you’ll be fine. Whew, that was close. Your adversaries have been active while you’ve been slumbering.

That’s okay. I was awake… and I know about Krakens. That’s why I’m here. We needed one. It was a mess. Do not release a Kraken unless you want total destruction of everything everywhere. We do.

It will expand to the AFCC, then to the APA. It is going to become an absolute mess in the family courts. Excellent.

Except if you happen to be in the family courts at the time. You have a better chance than you did before (you had no chance before), but you’ll have to dance through the debris – it’s a shared persecutory delusion, remain grounded in established knowledge.

But you won’t find any mental health people who are competent. Soon, you may find none at all once the incompetent ones flee. The family courts are going to be an absolute mess.

Who knew that the UN Council on Human Rights would issue a statement colluding with child abuse and spousal abuse using the child as the weapon?

Debate – Dr. Childress vs UN Council on Human Rights: Is the UN Colluding with Child Abuse & Spousal Abuse. I say yes.

Send me the date, time, and link.

I think I’ll talk about Krakens this Sunday over coffee and crumpets, the destruction of everything everywhere – “Surviving Krakens with Dr. Childress” – this Sunday at 8:00 Pacific on Facebook Live.

Stay close, stay close, just snuggle right on in. You’ll be safe.
