Is the American Psychogical Association allowing rampant and unchecked professional violations of ethical code and standards, making it complicit with acts of child abuse?
PATHOGENIC PARENTING (ATTACHMENT PATHOLOGY) IS CHILD ABUSE
Have you been denied access to your child? No parenting time or phone calls? Is your relationship with your child continually interfered with? Contact denial is child abuse and a form of intimate partner violence. Pathogenic parenting is a child protection issue, NOT a child custody issue.
Children have the absolute right to love both parents without being manipulated, bullied or coached. Emotional and psychological abuse cause the same chemical reaction in the brain as physical or sexual abuse. Don't be an apathetic bystander. Be a voice for the voiceless. Stand up for children by signing Dr. Childress' petition today.

What is a cross-generational coalition?
In the setting of a family break up, attachment pathology (attachment-based "parental alienation" is a form of child and intimate partner violence where an allied (favored) parent employs tactics of psychological control and triangulation to impose a cross-generational coalition with the parties' child(ren) against the targeted (rejected) parent. The pathologically enmeshed relationship between the allied parent and child(ren) results in the abnormal empowerment of the child(ren), thereby creating an inverted hierarchy between the child(ren) and targeted parent.
The multi-generational transmission of trauma links to the allied parent's unresolved childhood attachment trauma distorting current family relationships and culminating with the emotional cutoff of the targeted parent. The ex-spouse of the allied parent thereby becomes the ex-parent of the child(ren).
Typically the pathogenic parent has interloping personality disorders that may include Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSbP). Most frequently, the personality disorders of pathogenic parents appear in the combination of narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder or very strong traits of each. This pathogenic parent will use tactics of gaslighting, FEAR, OBLIGATION and GUILT to control and distort the child's perception of reality.

Is Parental Alienation Syndrome Recognized by Professionals?
The diagnosis "Parental Alienation Syndrome" is not included in DSM-5, however, a diagnosis of attachment pathology (Attachment-Based "Parental Alienation") as identified by Dr. Craig Childress, does exist as a cross-generational parent-child coalition and other diagnostic labels.
Guess what else is not listed but is included under other labels? You will not find the terms "psychopath" or "sociopath" in DSM-5. They are listed as "Antisocial Personality Disorder".
In the latest release of the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-5, the diagnosis of pathogenic parenting is listed under codes V995.51 Child Psychological Abuse, Confirmed, V61.20 Parent-Child Relational Problem, V61.29 Child Affected by Parental Relationship Distress, and 309.4. According to Dr. Childress, the diagnostic indicators present in children for a diagnosis are (1) Attachment System Suppression (2) Personality Disorder Traits and (3) Delusional Belief. As the diagnosis for pathogenic parenting exist within DSM-5, any claim that further research is needed is negated.
In the book "Foundations", Dr Craig Childress correctly points out that Dr. Richard Gardner was incorrect in suggesting a new syndrome (parental alienation syndrome) when pathogenic parenting can be identified within the constructs of psychological principles and the DSM.
