You need to understand what’s going on, the impact it’s having on your children, and what to do to stop it — before it’s too late. Before your children stop wanting to see you, stop calling you, or cut you short when you call them — or even push you out of their lives completely.

Many children aren’t aware of the real reason they feel coldness, disgust, or even hatred toward one parent. These feelings could be the heartbreaking result of Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS), when one parent poisons a child against the other parent. Amy J. L. Baker, Ph.D., one of the foremost authorities and researchers on PAS, is an articulate and brilliant talk-show guest. She’s full of descriptive stories from this brand new area of psychological study.

She reveals:

• Warning signs to help you determine if a wedge is being driven between you and your children.

• Surprising facts, like that PAS can occur in seemingly healthy relationships — not just in hostile divorces.

• How to prevent or stop your ex from manipulating your children.

• Some amazing examples of how parents and adult children have recovered from PAS.
