Decades of science and case law
have taught us that many simultaneous and
mutually compatible pressures must all be considered
when a child becomes allied with one parent
and rejects the other.

Calling this "alienation" is a grave error
that creates bias, fuels conflict,
and harms the child.

This presentation introduces the idea of
resist/refuse dynamics,
criticizes the popular but deeply flawed
"five factor model,"
and recommends a rubric for evaluating
and litigating these most challenging
family law cases.
