Richard Warshak's Mentor Richard A. Gardner's Opinion of Parental Alienation versus Child Sex Abuse; is this what
"If the mother has reacted to the abuse in a hysterical fashion, or used it as an excuse for a campaign of denigration of the father, then the therapist does well to try and 'sober her up'... Her hysterics... will contribute to the child's feeling that a heinous crime has been committed and will thereby lessen the likelihood of any kind of rapproachment with the father. One has to do everything possible to help her put the 'crime' in proper perspective. She has to be helped to appreciate that in most societies in the history of the world, [men having sex with children] was ubiquitous, and this is still the case." -- Richard A. Gardner, in True and False Accusations of Child Sex Abuse (1992), pp. 584-585

And yet we cats aren't allowed in the nursery! More: Do children "need" two parents? Before applying "treatment" for parental alienation, doesn't it have to be established -- rather than assumed -- that the specific child in question actually is suffering a harm that needs to be addressed?
PARENTAL ALIENATION TREATMENT CENTRAL: RICHARD WARSHAK’S WORK DOESN’T MEET GENERALLY ACCEPTED PRINCIPLES FOR A VA
In light of Dr. Richard Warshak continuing to censor most comments that oppose him or question him in any way, discussion must continue on the many other websites that have been covering this issue that the Huffington Post continues to ignore. Here is an interesting article to read, especially since I have been reading Warshak is denying any involvement in a “treatment” center.

Dr. Richard Gardner, a New York psychiatrist, proposed a theory in the early 1980s that some alienation was irrational in that the accepted parent had brainwashed the children to the extent that the cure was to deprogram them of their rejection of the other parent.
