The tools of affiliation
and the weapons of abuse:
Alienation,
alignment and attachment theory
This 3- or 4-hour presentation is the first
to place the controversial and divisive topics of "parental alienation" and
"Parental Alienation Syndrome" in the context of typical development and
existing developmental theory. By incorporating all of the latest data, Dr.
Garber is the first to place this familiar and normative dynamic in the context
of typical development. This understanding is critical to professionals who
are periodically faced with those extreme circumstances in which these healthy
tools of affiliation are used as weapons of abuse. This presentation Dr.
Garber's "Journal of Child Custody" 2004 (1[4]) article by the same name.

From theory
to therapy to courtroom:
Attachment, alienation and the best interests of the child
This
unique and compelling full-day workshop integrates developmental psychology's
most roibust and researched construct -attachment theory- into therapy and
forensic evaluation. Bowlby's and Ainsworth's attachment paradigm is moved
beyond the parent-child dyad into a family systems model which has direct
and practical bearing on conducting therapy with kids and addressing matters
of visitationa nd custody, among others. Sounds like psychobabble? Dr. Garber's
presentation is down-to-earth, common sense and useful today. New tools
are presented that participants carry back to practice immediately.

Uncoupled:
Co-parenting interventions in the best interests of the child
Its not divorce that harms children (although acrimonious litigation can
exacerbate existing pain). What harms children is co-parental conflict.
This means that clinicians and family law professionals must not wait for
the paperwork to be filed and the hearing to be scheduled to identify and
respond to the needs of children whose parents are conflicted, separated
and divorcing.
This two-hour presentation discusses how co-parental
conflict is best understood, its impact on children in school and among
friends, socially and emotionally. The Co-parenting Questionnaire (CPQ)
is introduced as one means of quantifying and tracking co-parental conflict
over time. Directed Co-parenting Intervention is then introduced as a new
means of working with highly conflicted co-parents in tehir children's best
interests. Learn more here
