Craig Childress, PsyD – Family Courts lacking diagnosis info & legit parents

The forensic psychologists are withholding a diagnosis from the courts and from the litigant parents.

As a result, the courts don’t have the necessary information for decision-making surrounding the child, and one of the litigants (the targeted parent) does not have the necessary information to fully make their case to the court for a child protection response.

Court-involved psychologists should NOT be withholding highly relevant diagnostic information from the courts and the litigant parents.

The doctors need to be doctors, they need to formally diagnose the problem (pathology) using the DSM-5 & ICD-11 diagnostic systems, and then tell the court and the litigant parents what that diagnosis is.

This allows each litigant to present their case to the court and to challenge a clearly made diagnosis if they choose. The appellate system for a disputed diagnosis is second opinion.

I recommend that we get that second (and third) opinion throuigh telehealth right at the initial assessment point, thereby giving the court clear mental health information on which to base its decisions – and for a treatment plan to fix the diagnosed problem.

The legal system lands on the wrong end-point, the custody decision of the court. Healthcare lands on the proper end-point, treatment, we need to fix the problem.

Throughout healthcare, diagnosis guides treatment. What is the DSM-5/ICD-11 diagnosis for the pathology (problem)?

They won’t tell you. The forensic psychologists in the family courts won’t tell you what the DSM-5 diagnosis is. They refuse. They are intentionally withholding relevant evidence – the DSM-5 diagnosis – from the court and from the litigant parents.

That’s exactly the problem. The forensic psychologists are breaking the system… for their own financial and career status gain.

The moment the psychologists start returning DSM-5 diagnoses of Child Psychological Abuse (a shared persecutory delusion & FDIA), that will indicate the previous failure of the forensic psychologists to protect the child and targeted parent.

The forensic psychologists are highly motivated now to NOT diagnose the Child Psychological Abuse (DSM-5 V995.51), Delusional Disorder (shared/induced); persecutory type (DSM-5 297.1), and FDIA (DSM-5 300.19) because it will expose their prior failure – throughout their career.

The forensic psychologists in the family courts are intentionally – intentionally – disabling the mental health system’s response to child psychological abuse (DSM-5 V995.51) in the family courts for their personal financial and career-status gain.

Debate: Are Forensic Psychologists Intentionally Disabling the Mental Health System Response to Child Abuse?

Yes: Dr. Childress

No: Pick one. Anyone. How about Dr. Saini, he’s President of the AFCC. How about him? Or anyone. Surly there’s a forensic psychologist who will argue that they are NOT intentionally disabling the mental health system response to child abuse?

Crickets. Watch.

I’m encountering them. They’re encountering me. Howdy, I’m Dr. Childress, pleased to meet you. Are you aware of Standard 2.04 of the APA ethics code?

Are you aware that the DSM-5 & ICD-11 diagnostic systems are among the “established scientific and professional knowledge of the discipline” required – mandatory – for application as the bases for professional judgments?

So? What’s your DSM-5 diagnosis for the child and family problem?

You’re a doctor. That’s your job. Tell the court and the parents what your DSM-5 diagnosis is… and why. Cite to the symptoms, cite to the diagnostic criteria.

Does the child have a fixed and false belief maintained despite contrary evidence (i.e., a delusion) that the child is being malevolently treated in some way by the normal-range parenting of the targeted parent (i.e., a persecutory delusion)?

A litigant parent – the targeted parent – needs an answer to that question for their arguments made to the court. You’re the court-involved psychologist, that’s your “field” of practice – so – answer the diagnostic question for the litigant parent and court.

They won’t answer the question. They are intentionally withholding the diagnostic information – they’re covering up their prior failure. Oh my.

We’re in the active cover-up phase now – which will expand into a larger conflict of interest.

To fix the broken mental health system response to the pathology in the family courts, we need to acknowledge that the experimental quasi-judicial role of forensic custody evaluators failed, and that we need to return to established healthcare of diagnosis and treatment.

But the moment we eliminate forensic custody evaluations and return to clinical diagnostic assessments… they lose their jobs. They are a failed model. Bye-bye, no one needs a “forensic custody evaluation” anymore.

There is currently a tremendous conflict of interest with forensic psychologist in positions of authority and influence. To change means to acknowledge their failure – and they will need to exit the family courts.

They misdiagnosed child abuse their entire careers and were responsible for disabling the mental health system response to child abuse that irrevocably destroyed the lives of thousands of children and their parent.

They experimented on human subjects, the parents and children in the family courts, with their made-up “quasi-judicial” role for doctors. Their experiment on children and parents was a complete and total failure.

They need to go away. They don’t want to go away because this is their career. We’re in the cover-up phase now – entering the conflict of interest phase.

It will get worse for them, and worse, and worse. Reality is what reality is. The DSM-5 diagnosis is V995.51 Child Psychological Abuse (DSM-5 297.1 Delusional Disorder; DSM-5 300.19 FDIA).

Howdy. I’ve been retained in this matter to review your work. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

GOP – The “ Battered Wife “

I know a little something that so many do not appreciate about Donald, but that those of us who worked with him in the financial services game have known for many decades—LONG before he ever made a run at politics.

His stated motives rarely reveal his true agenda. His showmanship and charisma bedazzles the uninformed, which is exactly how he likes it.

He never signed a contract or met an agreement he wouldn’t violate or wriggle out of if it suited his hidden agenda. He never met an investor whose purse he didn’t consider his own in some strategic way. And he never met a human being he wouldn’t screw in order to advance or satisfy himself.

If you want to understand his beef with Panama, don’t look at the canal to which he now points. Look at Trump enterprises and their fraught financial and criminal relationship with Panama, and look to the Russian oligarchs who bought condos in his Panama Tower.

If you want to understand his fixation with Gaza, don’t look at the Palestinian or Israeli people; look at the real estate value he now perceives that Gaza holds, and he’d like to unlock.

If you want to understand his insane, obsessive beef with energy renewable windmills, don’t look at the wind energy aspect; look at his beef with Scotland over his golf course and the nearby windmills that damaged his idea of its aesthetics.

If you want to understand his irrational hatred of Obama, don’t look at the policies of the Obama administration; look to the annual press corp dinner where Obama poked fun at him and bruised his ego. If you want to understand his demonization of Democrats, look not to Democratic social policy, but to the fact they didn’t want him to run under color of their party.

If you want to understand his hatred of “immigrants” don’t look to the actual contributions and challenges related to immigration, but to his own germophobia and personal disgust for all things “dirty and brown.”

What he does SO masterfully, as many sociopaths do, is figure out how to align, however temporarily, his own personal agenda with the drives of those he can then USE to help him execute it. And the GOP fell right in line with that abusive strategy.

The GOP now looks much like a battered wife who would LOVE to quit Trump, but who also knows their financial security, personal comfort, and social status would collapse if they ran away. And they fear they won’t get much sympathy or support from the people who tried to warn them not to marry the dude—a serial, liar, cheater, thief, sadist, and a generally Bad Person.

Many of the GOP politicians today are busily masking their own abuse from the general public; at some point, however, as they watch their power continue to erode, their reputations get smashed, and themselves get blamed for the extensive abuse they now suffer, something’s gonna give.

I don’t know what it is, but every bone in my body FEELS an energetic convergence heading toward a massive, MASSIVE explosion—coming soon.
