Alienation and Estrangement From a Forensic, Therapeutic, and Legal Point of View

Presenters in this workshop will use hypothetical examples to describe the dynamics and challenges of high conflict families in which there are parent-child contact problems, including alienation and realistic estrangement that interfere with co-parenting. These challenges will be explored through the viewpoint of forensic evaluators, therapists, and legal professionals. The presenters will involve the participants in discussion regarding their understanding of the challenges and ways to address them. This workshop is relevant for judges, court personnel, attorneys, clinicians, and parenting coordinators.
