CAFTT's ‘Attachment-Led 
Theory and Practice for 
Parental Alienation’ book is out now !

"This book, Attachment-Led Theory and Practice in Parental Alienation, complements a video course for
continuing professional development on the same topic.  In both the book and the videos,
Stuart Graham presents a step-by-step approach for understanding parental alienation theory.
This is a complex topic with many nuances, which Mr. Graham addresses in a systematic manner.
Mental health and legal professionals who work with separated and divorced parents will find this
book immensely helpful in understanding and assisting children and families coping with parental alienation."

 and qualified professionals."

"Please do a course. Do any course that enhances your understanding of alienation lest it affects you
without realising it, or you have to assess and remediate it
without knowing how to identify it.
This course is an excellent
place to start" - Stan Korosi (UniSC) Principal Consultant and Director of The Family Bridges Workshop

 going through this distress this information could have really 
helped if we had it before things 
got worse.  All families 
and professionals should 
watch this course"

"I really enjoyed accessing this course,
I believe anyone who works in education should have access to
this course as educators could
notice signs of alienation in school
grounds and not understand the
process of dealing with it.
The course has provided
real in-depth information"

parental manipulation."
