If You Must.,
This review is from: Divorce Casualties: Protecting Your Children From Parental Alienation (Paperback)
I was told by a psychologist that I must read this to gain access to my daughter. I did not approach this book filled with anticipation.The book has some important information, but like many self-help books, it starts to run on about a third of the way through as the author struggles to make his pamphlet-sized idea big enough to market as a book. Most of the important information is available on his web-site so the purchase of this book hardly justifies the investment of time or money. Moreover, PAS has turned into an over-inflated, popularized problem that is reeking havoc for many separating families. Books such as this only make the problem more widespread, so I hate to subsidize the author. There are several ways that the the author could have more meaningfully filled those later pages. The most obvious thing for Darnall to address is the irony of his assertion that if you are a serious PAS offender, you won't past about the first chapter. (Yes, I read the whole book.) So who is the target audience? This book becomes a cheerleader's handbook for the promotion of PAS allegations. This leads to a more sickening irony where allegations of PAS, become themselves alienating. He needs to put clear limits to how PAS is defined, and discuss false allegations of PAS, and how to respond to those allegations. This book would have been vastly improved if the author had taken a much broader, more objective, and complex perspective on the problem. If he had taken a book-sized perspective, he could have had a book-sized book.

This review is from: Divorce Casualties: Protecting Your Children From Parental Alienation (Paperback)
I actually have a better time reading anything if it has some sort of practical work related to the reading. I enjoyed Dr. Darnall's book because it offers this treat. It is a treat in that you will be surprised at your abilities, or lack thereof, to grasp important information and determine better how to use it.In this book, Divorce Casualties,it opens your practical mind to the depth, height, breadth and width of the subject--how to protect your spouse's , children's and your relationship with each other while going through this, the toughest of times. I have my own sick story, but my being the targeted parent just got more insight because I am learning from this book some things that I did not think were a hazard to my children--that I am responsible for. The execises in the book helped me open that door upstairs that used to only be opened by me. Now, I have a practical list of tips to check myself on when I am with my children, thus, I am able to share my time more effectively with them, and be the strong, loving parent they need. After all, they are the most precious things in our lives. Are they not? If we are not thinking THAT from the opening and the closing of this book, then it will be a waste of our time to read it. You must be able and willing to admit your role in the subject of this book, and, therefore, be willing to make needed changes. It is a great thing to have read this book.
