Welcome to PA1
Attachment-Led
Theory & Practice
for
Parental Alienation
The lectures are dual-designed as standalone references for a fully informed presentation on important topics and to incrementally develop knowledge, not just of parental alienation but the various issues parents and professionals encounter when in the difficult position of facing, or being tasked to assist, where this type of parental manipulation may be ongoing.
Parental alienation disrupts attachments, psycho-developmental prospects, and quality of life for hundreds of thousands of children and families.
CAFTT's CPD accredited parental alienation training provides intensive, self-paced learning and multiple-choice assessment to achieve Certification in Attachment-Led Theory and Practice in Parental Alienation.
PA1’s intensive and CPD-accredited parental alienation training updates typical approaches with modern attachment, family systems, and neuropsychology.
Parental alienation’s vulnerabilities, triggers, strategies, behaviours, and incremental impacts on children's psychological functioning into adulthood are detailed across 16 lectures
spanning 13.5 hours.
The course critically and comparatively evaluates relevant law and practice.
Evidence-based, trauma-informed and risk-based assessments are provided to assist resolution of cases, with effective professional
and court management.
Currently, there appears to be little, on demand, self paced and accredited training for parental alienation. PA1 is aimed at providing an empirically structured, open-access route to understanding parental alienation, and earning Continued Professional Development accreditation points in this complicated and specialist field.
PA1 draws on the best practice and advice of some of the world’s top experts. Years of interaction with the UK’s family court system corroborates and compliments the established observational literature with an aetiological perspective using updated attachment, neuropsychology and child development approaches.
The processes of alienation and its stages are explained in detail, alongside how each impacts on children and other family members. The incremental results for children and other family members are provided in short, medium and long-term form.
The course has more than 13.5 hours of intensive instruction across 16 lectures, making PA1 outstanding value for money. Obtaining the same level of knowledge from other sources would, we suggest, be far more time consuming
and expensive.
The lectures are dual-designed as standalone references for a fully informed presentation on important topics, and to incrementally develop knowledge - not just of parental alienation but the various issues parents and professionals encounter when in the difficult position of facing, or being tasked to assist, where this type of parental manipulation may be ongoing.
Each lecture is arranged around addressing parental alienation as a mental health problem for the whole family unit, focusing on processes and outcomes for each family member.
Parental alienation is one of many types of damaging parental manipulation. And often, the manipulation and persuasion of child professionals. Understanding the processes and results of parental alienation may raise awareness and identification of other types of abuse inflicted on children and concealed by manipulation
of victims and professionals.
Importantly, PA1 addresses, in detail, the pathogenesis of many mental health disorders arising from family interactions. Much family pathology is trans-generational, meaning some children may be born to endure long-lasting psychological distress, in the absence of informed assessment, identification and intervention.
