Professionals who deal with alienation on a daily basis continue to recognize A Family’s Heartbreak: A Parent’s Introduction to Parental Alienation, as a valuable resource for families, legal professionals and the courts.
Mark Roseman, a Certified Family Court Mediator in Florida says that nearly 35 percent of all parents experience some sort of alienation, and that many are themselves victims of high conflict divorce. Roseman also indicates that courts are addressing the presence of alienation and alienating behavior more than ever before. Even still, he says, “Improved child outcomes necessitate an educated judiciary and legal system. A Family’s Heartbreak will be an important tool for such achievement.”
Joan Kloth-Zanard is a Life Coach and Counselor who runs three non-profit, online, parental alienation support groups. She says A Family’s Heartbreak will “help first-timers prepare for what they are up against,” and also help parents who are in the middle of their parental alienation nightmares. Kloth-Zanard adds, “In fact, this book could even help those who are truly lost from their children’s lives as it gives them a better understanding as well as belief that they are not alone and that they were powerless given the poor set of resources available to them in the courts.”
We wrote A Family’s Heartbreak: A Parent’s Introduction to Parental Alienation to educate the legal and mental health communities about parental alienation and help other families avoid this painful and life-altering situation. If you know an attorney, counselor or therapist who could benefit from this information, please buy a copy of A Family’s Heartbreak and send it to him or her. You’ll help people who will never know your name, but who will be eternally grateful that someone took the time to educate a professional who was able to protect a child’s relationships with his or her parents.

This is a very interesting book, and one which should be read by people not only involved in counseling but more importantly by parents who are in the process of divorce and how this will affect their children.
