Karen Woodall

Karen Woodall interviews a family where two children were moved to live with a parent they had rejected after long proceedings in the family courts.

Karen Woodall discusses the kinds of maladaptive behaviours which are seen in children in divorce and separation and how the discourse on parental rights, about issues such as induced psychological splitting in children (alienation) diverts attention away from children's needs.  

Karen Woodall talks about the child in residence transfer, alienation of a child as child abuse and the use of therapeutic parenting to assist children in recovery from induced psychological splitting.

Karen Woodall talks about treatment and recovery routes for alienated children and their families and introduces the concept of therapeutic parenting as a key part of all treatment routes. This is the first of three introductory podcasts, helping parents and practitioners to understand the ways in which children suffer from defensive psychological splitting in alienation and how therapeutic work using a co-therapy approach can assist them in recovery,
