AliEnation Industry
The "alienation industry" is the dark underbelly of the family court system - and it's a lucrative industry. It is our goal to shine a light into the darkness and provide a pathway for those who find themselves trapped in the predictable but disturbing pipeline.
Richard Ducote
"Alienation is the only 'disease' diagnosed by lawyers."
The roots of the alienation movement are dark and diseased
In nature, when the roots of a tree are diseased, the tree is considered to be a complete loss. The tree needs to be dug up (or chopped down) and destroyed. There is no saving it.
The Roots of the "Alienation Industry"
The term "parental alienation" or "parental alienation syndrome (PAS)" was created by Richard Gardner in 1985 for the purpose of deflecting the court's attention from child abuse claims against fathers. This is a debunked concept, based on Gardner's clinical observations, not scientific data, and is not recognized by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the World Health Organization (WHO) or the American Medical Association. Prior to his suicide, Gardner was an unpaid part-time clinical professor of child psychiatry at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University. He made his money mainly as a forensic expert on a foundation of disturbing views, discrediting women and children on the basis of his debunked parental alienation theories.
