Very useful so far, as this book details evidence-based approaches that can be implemented to combat alienation/abuse, ideally by way of agreement, but with resources and citations that will be helpful if litigation is unavoidable, with steps that can be presented as a roadmap for a court-ordered solution that is both proportionately intensive and palatable for the manipulated child.

The introduction establishes patterns common with favored parents: self-preoccupation, emotional dysregulation, high level of mistrust, manipulativeness, parentification of and enmeshment with child, lack of stable relationships, and they “show pervasive denial of any involvement in their children’s rejection of the other parent” despite having “engaged in various strategies to assure their dominance”
