Childress on persecution delusion ie parental alienation /ChildAbuse

From Bernet (2020): “A good generic definition for PA is the following: a mental condition in which…”

According to Dr. Bernet, his “parental alienation” construct is a “mental condition” that exists within a person.

It is not a relational process in the family, it is “mental condition” someone has – you have “parental alienation” like you would have Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder, you have a “mental condition” of “parental alienation”.

According to Dr. Bernet, “parental alienation” is not a parent-child relationship process, it is a thing someone has – you have a mental condition of “parental alienation”, it is not a relational process between two people according to this definition.

According to Dr. Bernet, “parental alienation” exists only within one person, it is the “mental condition” of that person. Which person has the “mental condition” of “parental alienation”, the parent or the child?

Does the parent start with the mental condition of “parental alienation” and then give this “mental condition” to the child, or does the child independently develop the “mental condition” of “parental alienation”?

The parent is clearly transmitting the “mental condition” to the child, to form a shared “mental condition.”

What is that shared “mental condition”? It is a fixed and false belief in supposed “victimization”, i.e., it is a shared delusional disorder.

The “mental condition” is called a persecutory delusion. When the parent induces the persecutory delusion in the child, it becomes a shared delusional disorder.

There is no such thing as “parental alienation” – it is an encapsulated shared persecutory delusion (Childress, 2015). Dr. Bernet is simply an abysmal diagnostician.

I’m barely into my line-by-line review of his “five-factor” model and already it’s just PAS with lipstick, and he’s just identified the shared persecutory delusion – “parental alienation” is a mental condition (not a relational process).

Therefore, “parental alienation” exists in the person as a mental condition. What is that mental condition? A fixed and false belief that the child is being malevolently treated in some way by the targeted parent.

That is a persecutory delusion.

From the APS: “Persecutory Type: delusions that the person (or someone to whom the person is close) is being malevolently treated in some way.

That is the “mental condition” of a persecutory delusion. That is the “mental condition” of the parent, that is the “mental condition” of the child. The pathology is a shared persecutory delusion (Childress, 2015), as described in the journal Family Court Review by Walters and Friedlander (2016),

From Walters & Friedlander: “In some RRD families [resist-refuse dynamic], a parent’s underlying encapsulated delusion about the other parent is at the root of the intractability (cf. Johnston & Campbell, 1988, p. 53ff; Childress, 2013). An encapsulated delusion is a fixed, circumscribed belief that persists over time and is not altered by evidence of the inaccuracy of the belief.” (Walters & Friedlander, 2016, p. 426)

From Walters & Friedlander: “When alienation is the predominant factor in the RRD [resist-refuse dynamic}, the theme of the favored parent’s fixed delusion often is that the rejected parent is sexually, physically, and/or emotionally abusing the child. The child may come to share the parent’s encapsulated delusion and to regard the beliefs as his/her own (cf. Childress, 2013).” (Walters & Friedlander, 2016, p. 426)

Walters, M. G., & Friedlander, S. (2016). When a child rejects a parent: Working with the intractable resist/refuse dynamic. Family Court Review, 54(3), 424–445.

There is no such thing as “parental alienation” and the use of that construct in a professional capacity is substantially beneath professional standards of practice and is in violation of Standard 2.04 Bases for Scientific and Professional Judgments of the APA ethics code.

The pathology is an encapsulated shared persecutory delusion. The assessment for delusional thought disorder pathology is a Mental Status Exam of thought and perception.

That is the mental healthcare information that Dr. Bernet should be dispensing to the public – not psychiatric misinformation based on rejected models of diagnosis and pathology.

Dr. Bernet rejects the diagnostic guidance of the American Psychiatric Association. He thinks he knows more than they do. He thinks he’s right and the American Psychiatric Association is wrong.

No… Dr. Bernet is wrong and the American Psychiatric Association is right – there is no such diagnostic pathology as “parental alienation” – the pathology in the family courts is a shared persecutory delusion (Childress, 2015; Walters & Friedlander, 2016).

Dr. Bernet rejects the ethical guidance of the American Psychological Association, he thinks standards of ethical practice don’t apply to him.

No, he’s wrong. Ethical standards of practice are not optional, and no doctors are exempt from their ethical obligations to their patients to provide the most accurate healthcare information possible to their patients.

Healthcare information from the established scientific and professional knowledge of the discipline. The “mental condition” is an shared persecutory delusion (Childress, 2015; Walters & Friedlander, 2016).

I was evicted , very weakened by a high conflict 3 year rental that was very toxic .

Homelessness did not afford me catch up physically nor finically.

New laws and suspected legal representatives who take this as unworthy of being heard and further the abuses deserve factual education.

Conflicts do exist but pass in this small town. The very obvious denial by one department who failed on several levels with several request for help that was theirs to determine.

Craig Childress ; Reality Check

I first encountered the “five-factor” model of PAS this past year in a forensic child custody report. The forensic evaluator cited the “five-factor” model of PAS to assert that there was NO “parental alienation” because the child did not meet criteria for the “five-factor” model of PAS.

By all indications of the symptom reporting, however, the child did meet diagnostic criteria for AB-PA. So now I must review and critique the “five-factor model” of PAS proposed by Dr. Bernet in order to protect the child from continuing child psychological abuse by the pathogenic parent.

I want everyone to let that fully sink in. The forensic evaluator cited the five-factor model of Dr. Bernet as the reason there was NO “parental alienation” and the child should therefore be left in the sole-custody care of the pathological and psychologically abusive parent.

I am simply second-opinion review on that matter. I am simply telling you the current status of the field.

The reason I put the term “five-factors” in quotes is because I have yet to see the factor analysis that supports that there are five factors to PAS. If there is no factor analysis, then to claim there is a five-factor model is professionally deceptive.

The assumption in research is that the term “factors” applies to a factor analysis conducted on a data set. While the term “factor” has a more loosely defined meaning in the general population, professional reporting in the journal literature is expected to be more precise in its use of research-related language.

First thing to note – before anything – is that Dr. Bernet has yet to demonstrate that there is a pathology called “parental alienation” with one-, two-, three-, four-, or eleven proposed components to PAS. There is no PAS – so – there are no factors, however many, to a non-existent thing.

He starts with an assumption that there is a thing PAS. That is not a valid assumption. He needs to prove this assumption that there IS a PAS before he can begin to describe the features for PAS.

If Dr. Bernet proposes that his recent “five-factor” model of PAS proves there is a pathology of PAS, he is wrong. A DSM-5 diagnosis for PAS proves there is a pathology of PAS. Once he proves there IS a PAS, then he can begin to describe its features.

PAS was completely and fully rejected as a diagnostic construct by the American Psychiatric Association in 2013. PAS is NOT a diagnostic pathology. Yet Dr. Bernet has difficulty adjusting to that reality. He believes he knows more about pathology and its diagnosis than the American Psychiatric Association, and he continues to believe he is ‘discovering’ a new pathology when the American Psychiatric Association has said that is not true.

Note that these articles from 2020-2022 are relatively recent. The ripples have yet to ripple. Fist comes the rock, then the splash, then the ripples.

From Bernet (2020): “Although the phenomenon that we know as parental alienation (PA) had been described in the mental health and legal literature for many years, it was eventually given a name-parental alienation syndrome (PAS)-by Richard Gardner in 1985 (Gardner, 1985). As time went on, most writers abandoned the use of the word syndrome and simply referred to this mental condition as parental alienation. For purposes of this article, PAS and PA are synonymous.”

He simply acts as if everyone now simply accepts the pathology of “parental alienation” as described by Gardner’s PAS model. Dr. Bernet fully and completely disregards that PAS was fully and completely rejected as a diagnostic pathology by the American Psychiatric Association 2013.

Denial is a symptom of thought disorder.

Dr. Bernet went into a time-portal in 1985 and has failed to come out. He remains in 1985. In 2022 he is still making the exact same proposal for Gardner’s PAS. This “five-factor” model is not a new thing – it is PAS from 1985.

Just so everyone is clear – there is NOTHING new in a “five-factor” model of Parental Alienation Syndrome. That construct has been fully and completely rejected by the American Psychiatric Association in 2013 after a full and complete review.

Dr. Bernet has yet to demonstrate there is even a construct of “parental alienation” that has one factor. I will await his presentation of the data set for the factor analysis that identified five factors to the non-existent pathology of PAS.

Dr. Bernet is fully and completely stuck in a time-warp to 1985. Time has not advanced beyond that point for him, and he cannot comprehend or integrate that the construct of PAS has been rejected… and is entirely unnecessary.

To be clear… who is Dr. Bernet? A retired MD psychiatrist. That is it. Just one person, a retired MD psychiatrist who’s obsessed with Gardner’s PAS and cannot let go.

To be clear… who is Richard Gardner? One MD psychiatrist in the 1980s working in the family courts. That’s it. Gardner skipped the step of diagnosis, and instead he led everyone astray by making a new-pathology proposal.

Gardner was wrong. There is no new pathology. Gardner was just a poor diagnostician.

The pathology in the family courts is entirely – entirely – solvable without the construct of “parental alienation” – and, in fact, the solution requires an end to the use of that construct and a return to the established scientific and professional knowledge of the discipline, and poof, everything is solved immediately.

We can only achieve competence by establishing standards of practice. We cannot establish standards of practice requiring everyone to apply the five-factor model of PAS proposed by Bernet.

But that is Dr. Bernet’s expectation, that everyone do what Dr. Bernet tells them to do – not what the American Psychiatric Association says. Not what the ethical Standards of the American Psychological Association says.

Don’t apply Bowlby, don’t apply Minuchin, don’t apply Beck, don’t apply van der Kolk, don’t apply Tronick, don’t apply van der Kolk, don’t apply Kohut, don’t apply the DSM-5 – INSTEAD – apply Bernet.

That’s Dr. Bernet’s expectation in proposing a “five-factor” model of PAS. That was his life’s work. He is a retired MD psychiatrist leading a “movement” for Gardner’s PAS. He was crushed when the American Psychiatric Association said no.

He can’t let go. It’s is legacy. He must fight for his legacy, he can’t fade away into irrelevance. So he simply disregards the decisions of the American Psychiatric Association – they’re wrong – Bill’s right.

He needs to be right. He must be right.

So just for starters, I’m not even off of page 1 in my line-by-line peer-review of the “five-factor” model of PAS proposed by Dr. Bernet and the PAS “experts” and it is clear there is nothing new in their proposal – it’s just Gardner’s PAS… one more time.

From Bernet (2020): “For purposes of this article, PAS and PA are synonymous.”

See. It’s just PAS with lipstick.

I look forward to a more complete presentation of the factor analysis that supports a “five-factor” model of Carrot Rejection Syndrome.

This could have been avoided, but the pathogen is self-destructive. It wants to be seen. It wants us to see and heal it, but it cannot reveal its inadequacy, because once we see how damaged and inadequate they are we’ll reject them.

And their fears are true. Once we see the inadequacy of PAS, we’ll reject it.

I don’t care how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. We need to protect these children and their parents – today – and “parental alienation” will never do that.

This is not personal. It is professional. This pathology has a social distribution feature – it is the only shared pathology. The Garnderian PAS “experts” are a symptom.

Gardnerian PAS was created by the pathogen as bait to lure the targeted parents into endless unproductive fighting in the courts rather than getting an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan from healthcare.

They are a symptom feature. Some things can only be seen looking the other direction in time, from the future to the past. Are we ever going to return to 1985 to adopt PAS as the solution?

No.

It’s time to move on from one retired MD psychiatrist struggling to hold onto meaning in a failed career. History is written by the victors. That won’t be PAS.

New Supply

I did not have any idea that things were challenging to the degree they were in his new gal , new life .They shared a passion to target me given any opportunity and I was baited more than a few time much to my regret .

They had great fun and felt like winners and then the health decline and her awareness that he was not interested enough to be supportive , he was done . And she split .

So yes he can continue to infinity these brutal experiences as his health and. soul emancipation are ignored .

It used to blow my mind , how he never saw our family as scared and holy and worth his every effort to unite rather than alienate .

Woman Power

Historically the mysterious power of a woman’s vagina was believed to be so strong that simply possessing one equipped women with a great natural power source. In many cultures, the vagina has been revered as a powerful object; psychoanalyst Géza Róheim believed that “all magic is derived directly or indirectly from the female sexual organ”,[ii] while Pliny the Elder espoused the power of the vagina in Natural History where he wrote that: “There is no limit to the marvelous powers attributed to females. For, in the first place, hailstorms, they saw, whirlwinds, and lightning even, will be scared away by a woman uncovering her body while her monthly courses are upon her. The same, too, with all other kinds of tempestuous weather; and out at sea, a storm may be lulled by a woman uncovering her body, merely, even though not menstruating at the time. . . .

In The Story of V, feminist author Catherine Blackledge collects examples where the vagina is shown to have a apotropaic effect as she recounts how a traveller in North Africa recorded lions running scared from women who were lifting their skirts, how folkloric legends from Russia advocated female genital displays as a method to stave off bear attacks, and a seventeenth century European belief that raising one’s skirts could frighten off the devil himself.[v] Lions, bears and the devil represent some of the greatest fears of humanity; things that have the power to destroy humans and highlight human frailty and vulnerability, yet the mere sight of the female vagina had the power to vanquish them all.”

New Technologies

Organ Regenerator -The Bio-Organic Machine

Via Aurora Ray

Dear sisters and brothers of planet earth, we have some fantastic news for you!

We are ready with our spaceships. We are excited about landing on your planet! We cannot predict a date but we want you to know that we are positioned and ready for it.

We are prepared to share our technologies that will help you evolve. Our first mission is to improve human health on earth with advanced technologies. Our goal is to make you healthier and happier.

The economy is strained on earth by an aging population because people’s productivity declines as they age and their reliance on the healthcare system increases. Nobody is to blame, but growing older raises the risk of developing major diseases that diminish the quality of life and are costly to treat.

So, what will our advanced technology do for older citizens? He or she will be 20 again in a matter of minutes!

This age reversal is accomplished by reprogramming the chemical markers that build up on DNA as cells age. Our technology will bring the cells back to a more youthful state, allowing them to repair and replace damaged tissue.

They’ll reclaim the energy they’ve lost. Using their experienced brains, they can perform everything with more vitality at the same time. Their mental abilities will be sharp. What they have learned throughout their lives will add value to them. If they desire, they can have children and start a new, happier family!

It is like being born again – but better. You’ll be transformed to a younger body and the best part is, you won’t have to go through any either. Imagine waking up and seeing your face and body look and feel as young as they did when you were in your twenties!

Not only are your hearing, vision, taste, touch, and smell restored to their youthful condition, but you are also mentally alert with a youthful outlook on life. You can live an ageless lifestyle. You can preserve your youth. You can once again enjoy all of your favorite foods. You can enjoy the wealth, style, and excitement that come with being youthful.

And we have an advanced artificial intelligence scanner.

When you lie inside a hollow cylinder, it uses over 10 different frequencies of electromagnetic waves to scan your body. Then it sends that information to a specialized supercomputer we call the correction mechanism. That computer analyses all the data and identifies any imbalances in your body. By altering specific frequency patterns, it tells your cells how to repair themselves and reestablish homeostasis. Any kind of human disease can be cured within a few minutes!

Another technology we want to share with you is the ‘Organ Regenerator’. This is an amazing bio-organic machine that has the power to regenerate organs. Created with advanced plasma technology, it replaces damaged organs with brand new ones!

It will match the body data of a person to a Master Default Program. In it, we keep an ongoing file of human anatomy all the way to cells. and if it finds a mismatch due to an organ being removed, it will start regenerating that organ. In effect, you can regrow any part of your body.

For this, we use our 3D Bio Printer. It’s easy to print out replacement organs. Everything is done automatically with its inbuilt AI. We have already stored all the data in our 3D library of anatomy, so it will print out any part you need.

You will feel completely weightless while lying on our device. It will be like floating in space! You will go through deep sleep. You will be completely relaxed. It will be a sensory deprivation experience with zero side effects.

Our advanced technologies will be a medical breakthrough that will change your views on healing and diseases. You can benefit greatly from this “Heavenly New Age Medicine” that has been hidden from the public for a very long time.

We can’t wait any longer. We can’t watch you suffer any longer. We don’t want you to be hurt anymore. We love you. You are our family of light and this universe cares about you.

Our mission is to empower the building of a new age of Gaia immediately with our advanced technologies.

You are the builders of a new earth where anything is possible.

The Age of light has begun. A new Earth is at hand, and it will be a happy one, a peaceful one, a joyful one, a music-filled one, and a dance-filled one!

We love you dearly.

We are your family of light.

Human Rights /Women’s Rights

Pro-Lifer: Well, the mother should just give the baby up for adoption if she doesn’t want the baby…

Me: So, who will adopt the baby?

PL: I don’t know there’s lots of couples who want to adopt

Me: Do you know any couple who is waiting to adopt?

PL: Um well not personally but like I know there’s lots of people waiting to adopt.

Me: Do you know what a domestic adoption cost?

PL: I don’t know. $15,000 maybe?

Me: The average cost of domestic adoption in the United States is $70,000 if you go through a private agency.

PL: Oh, I didn’t realize it was that much

Me: Yep, it’s really expensive. It can be more if you want a newborn straight from the hospital. Up to $120,000.

PL: Well, all life is precious.

Me: it really is. I’ve adopted through foster care and am currently a licensed foster parent. Would you be interested in becoming a foster parent yourself?

PL: Oh no I couldn’t do it.

Me: Why not?

PL: It would just be too much for me right now.

Me: Why is that?

PL: It would be too hard to handle all the issues that came with it. I’ve heard horror stories.

Me: Yep, it can be extremely difficult. But what if I told you that you were required by law to become a foster parent?

PL: what?

Me: what if you had to become a foster parent by law?

PL: they would never do that. That would never happen.

Me: Well, if a woman is forced to bear a child she doesn’t want, and she goes ahead and has that child, someone has to care for the child either through adoption or foster care. You have to do one of those two things.

PL: But I don’t want any more kids.

Me: So, you don’t want someone forcing you to have a child in your home that you don’t want or aren’t able to care for?

PL: no, that’s not my job to raise someone else’s child.

There it is folks. Have the baby, but we don’t want anything to do with it afterwards.

But let’s ban abortion…
