AliEnation Industry
The alienation industry is the shadow network behind the family court crisis. It is a web of evaluators, reunification therapists, and reunification camps that profit when a protective parent is accused of “parental alienation.” This is the dark underbelly of family court, where abuse is reframed as coaching and fear is dismissed as manipulation. Our mission is to expose this industry and shine a light on the predictable pipeline that so many families are forced through.
Many parents who are trying to protect their children find themselves targeted by this narrative. The theory of alienation has been discredited but, it is a lucrative industry. It is described as one of the largest multilevel marketing schemes of our lifetime. If you are fighting to keep your child safe and the system has turned the focus on you, you are not alone. We are here to expose the pipeline and help you navigate it.

"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.
