Quotes by Amy J.L. Baker  (?)

“In addition to denial and reaction formation, a third defense mechanism, identification with the aggressor, was also at play. This occurred when the children took the fear of the alienating parent and turned it into an allegiance with that parent against the targeted parent. In this way the child transformed him or herself from a victim to a victimizer.”
Amy J.L. Baker, Adult Children of Parental Alienation Syndrome
