'60 Minutes' antidepressant report may be 'explosive,' but it's not conclusive. Studies linking the placebo effect to antidepressants have been around for more than a decade. There have, however, been far more studies showing antidepressants to be significantly more effective than placebos. The good in the 60 minutes program is that it will stimulate scientific inquiry into this question. If Dr. Kirsch is right, we want to know. If he has an agenda and/or is wrong, he and the media, which uncritically jump on sensational stories, are doing a disservice with potentially great harm.

Despite years researching and treating this topic, I find it to be poorly understood but extremely destructive both to parents and to children of divorce. Parents who have lost their child through alienation have sometimes described it as worse than the death of their child because, for the parent, it is an unresolved loss.

Article

In Parental Alienation Syndrome, one parent brainwashes or programs the child to turn against and vilify the other parent. It is difficult for many people to understand how an alienating parent could implant information that may be directly at variance with what the child had previously believed and experienced with the now-targeted parent.

Article

In Parental Alienation Syndrome, courts, atto eys, police, social workers, therapists, and friends often assume that what the presumably frightened alienating parent is saying is true. People may believe fabrications by the alienator because the kinds of abuse the alienator claims DO and are known to happen. There are, indeed, ex-spouses who are abusers and sexual molesters. The alienating parent can be very convincing with detailed, vivid stories. The clincher is that the alienated child corroborates the alienating parent’s version of how terrible the targeted parent is.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Les Linet

Anxious people suffer from things that never happen.

Don't settle for crumbs. You deserve love that doesn't hurt.

Each time something bad happens, you can choose to be a victim... or you can choose to learn from it.

Learn to see yourself as a person with flaws but not as thoroughly flawed - and never flawed merely because someone says you are.

Failure does not mean that you are a failure.

No human ever deserves to be abused. Insist on it being stopped... because you are endowed with inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Don't neglect yourself. Act in a manner that is truly healthy for you. If you need me, I will attempt to help you do so.
