Book Description
This is the first book to provide objective methods for establishing that a child has been brainwashed by one parent against another. It is based on a ten-year study of 700 cases in the authors' counseling and evaluative work with children of divorced couples.
In clear, straightforward language you will learn about: -- The eight stages of programming and brainwashing: what happens during each stage, the various players and their targets -- Identifying brainwashing techniques: 12 brainwashing syndromes - how they work and strategies for dealing with them -- Uncovering motives and strategies: identifying the driving force - the manipulator's purpose, rationale, and tactics -- Interviewing children: what to listen for, the questions to ask, and a chart of childrens' typical statements and what they indicate about the presence of brainwashing -- Determining the type, extent, and degree of social-psychological impact on the child, incuding diagnostic demonstrations and clues -- Intervention: countering the destructive effects on the child - the techniques and methods, whit their risks and limitations
It's a terrible fact: custody disputes often devolve into guerilla warfare, in which the child is subverted by one parent and turned as a weapon against the other. Children Held Hostage equips you with the understanding and practical direction needed to protect the child and the targeted parent from the results of brainwashing.
