"Attachment-based parent alienation is a malignant form of abuse that acts like a cancer within society. It inflicts deep emotional and psychological harm on individuals, disrupts family dynamics, imposes significant economic and social costs, and erodes trust and cohesion within communities. Addressing this issue requires a concerted effort from legal, mental health, and social services sectors, as well as broader societal awareness and intervention. By recognizing and combating ABPA, society can work towards healing affected families and fostering healthier, more resilient communities."
Robert Anderson
The rubrics of family relations is tantamount to the upbringing of children. At a bookstore, pick out ten fiction books and perhaps you'll find four of them show bobbing relationships quaking the household. A doting mother nudging her child against its father or it could be the father as well, who splits mother-child bonding. How does it happen and what drives a spouse to create this rift? The worst sufferers are the credulous children.
Robert Anderson has delved into this aberration inflicting irreparable damages upon these tender human offshoots. A child is a puerile creation of nature to be nurtured on the natural lines. In humans, a relationship with parents molds the child. A warped relation wobbles the natural balance ordained to shape up a young soul.
This handbook explains you this unrecognised canker, why it sets in, the different ways it happens, how to identify its various malignant intrusions and also the feasible remedies. A lucid approach to prevent or discover or defuse a tinderbox in your backyard.
Robert Anderson is a proponent of LOVE, and holds it ultimately to be the winning streak of existence as well as its realization. The profundity of LOVE has impelled this author to contrive this book upon a pervasive malaise that is ruthlessly taking its toll upon the unblemished souls of tiny-tots.

“Every being deserves kindness, love, and respect. Take a stand against the abuse of animals and people!” – Robert Anderson Love Wins.
This handbook explains this unrecognized canker, why it sets in, the different ways it happens, how to identify its various malignant intrusions, and also the feasible remedies. Here’s a lucid approach to prevent or discover or defuse a tinderbox in your backyard.
Attachment –based Parental Alienation (ABPA) is not a whipped-up psychosis. One may feel, whether having one parent or both the parents what difference does it cast upon the makeup of a child. There is the impact on relationships with grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. leading to a slew of collateral damages. Robert Anderson is trenchant to point out, ‘Alienation can severely damage a child’s self-esteem and sense of identity. As they internalize the negative views of the targeted parent, they may also question their own worth and value, especially if they share traits or characteristics with the targeted parent.’
One hardly believes that ‘children are biologically predisposed to develop attachments to caregivers as a means of survival.’ With the utmost scholastic approach, this book dwells on various Attachment Theories and their ramifications.
Why is ABPA escalating? The book establishes that ‘Changes in societal attitudes towards divorce and child custody also influenced the understanding of parental alienation. As joint custody and shared parenting became more common, the dynamics of parental alienation gained greater visibility.’
This book is not just for giving information but sends out a heart-rending appeal in terms of warning to all parents about the fallout of marital discord ensuing in the custody of children who despite being guileless bear the brunt of the acrimony of their parents. Andrew Robertson goes on to project the various aspects and the consequences of ABPA upon our society including economic costs on several fronts. Everyone suffers and the future generation verily undergoes self-effacement. Yet, the rewards of making the right choices are far greater than we often imagine.
Readers would come across findings from leading experts like Dr. Jennifer Harman and Dr. Zeynep Biringen who have conducted extensive research on the measurement and assessment of parental alienation, providing empirical tools for identifying and addressing alienation in clinical and legal settings. The author has cited the role of dysfunctional attachment patterns in alienating behaviors as per the findings of Dr. Craig Childress, a prominent contemporary figure. Dr. Richard Warshak has made significant contributions to the field with his research on the psychological effects of parental alienation and strategies for intervention. His book "Divorce Poison" has been used as input for practical guidance for parents and professionals dealing with alienation.
There is a cogent discussion on legal and therapeutic interventions, navigating the legal system, therapeutic approaches, educational and support resources, the role of schools and educators suggested reforms, legal system reforms, support system reforms, and educating counselors and professionals. The final challenge lies in healing moving forward, and devising potent strategies for healing. Readers are offered case studies of the Johnson family and the Martinez family.
What made the author do this book? Robert believes that “When we act with integrity and compassion, we not only uplift ourselves but also inspire those around us. Relationships grow stronger, self-respect deepens, and a ripple effect of positivity spreads through our communities. These choices carve a legacy of hope and goodness, leaving the world better than we found it.” The book digs into the causative reasons behind the animosity in the minds of the parents that prods them to brainwash their children. This vituperative attempt is a priority for therapeutic attendance.
Robert is emphatic, “My books impart essential life skills and break down barriers to knowledge.” And leaves his parting shot: “PARENTAL ALIENATION DESTROYS A NATION”.
