Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) is what happens to children when one parent poisons them against the other parent. Many of these emotionally abused children withdraw from their mother or father, but don’t know the true source of their negative feelings toward that parent.

Amy J. L. Baker, Ph.D., one of the foremost authorities and researchers on PAS, helps people identify this problem in their own lives and deal with the long-term impacts. She can provide advice to listeners to prevent, stop, or recover from PAS, offering hope to many who did not think it possible.

Dr. Baker reveals:

• What’s really behind Parental Alienation — the strategies one parent uses to turn children against the other parentÉ the same strategies used by cult leaders!

• The 11 or more triggers that can lead an adult to realize that he or she was a child victim of PAS.

• Why it’s imperative that everyone learn about PAS to prevent its progression and protect the parent-child bond.

• PAS myths — for example, that it only occurs in divorces.
