DR. WARSHAK ON ABC 20/20

Friday, December 18, 2009

9-11 p.m. ET; 8-10 p.m. CT

On Friday, December 18, ABC 20/20 will present the fascinating story of an international abduction case involving an alienated child. In preparation for this show, I was interviewed by Chris Cuomo.

During the second taping, I had an opportunity to demonstrate some of the procedures used during Family Bridges: A Workshop for Troubled and Alienated Parent-Child Relationships.

I expect this show to have a major impact in educating the public about the suffering of children who have been turned against a parent, and about what can be done to help ease a child's transition back to a rejected parent.

Please mark your calendars. Note that on December 18, 20/20 begins one hour earlier than usual and runs for two hours. The segment in which I am involved is scheduled for the first hour, although this is subject to change.

If you enjoyed the show, please leave your comments at: http://abcnews.go.com/2020.

"PAS does not exist" says President of Cdn Psychologists Association

CODE RED - Action Alert

Yesterday, Mon Feb 2, 2009 CBC Radio1 broadcast a segment about PAS given the recent blockbuster PAS "deprogramming" decision by Justice Faye MCWATT of Ontario.  The reporter interviewed an anonymous father who's case is still before the courts and got a comment about the challenge of "de-programming" from Dr. Richard WARSHUK - author of "Divorce Poison" who was also speaking at the Ontario Bar Association Conference in Toronto.   However for the CON view he interviewed Dr. Catherine M. LEE, President of the Canadian Psychological Association in Ottawa, ON who claims that "PAS does not exist".  The reporter ends with "the cure may be worse than the disease".  

Please take some time to listen to broadcast clip and contact Dr. LEE (catherine.lee@uottawa.ca)  to tell her what you think of her comment.   Perhaps contacting the other members of the Canadian Psychological Association Board of Directors is also opportune. Here is the link.  http://www.cpa.ca/aboutcpa/boardofdirectors.
