Study Notes
Parental Alienation
- Parental alienation is a process of socially, cognitively, and emotionally manipulating a child to reject one parent.
- This manipulation often involves a range of methods, including physical and social/psychological stripping.
Techniques of Parental Alienation
- Stripping: This involves the removal of material goods, affection, and other forms of support from the child.
- Repetition: Repeating negative themes about the target parent over and over again creates a negative mind-set in the child.
- Defining "Us" vs "Them": The alienated parent creates a sense of "we-ness" with the child, excluding the target parent.
- Inferior Status: The target parent is portrayed in a negative light, making the child feel like a second-class citizen or view their parent as incompetent.
- Cultural Manipulation: Values, beliefs, and rituals are used to redefine the group, excluding the target parent.
Stages of Parental Alienation
- Stage 1: Stripping
- Stage 2: Repetition
- Stage 3: Defining "Us" vs "Them"
- Stage 4: Inferior Status Descriptions
- Stage 5: Cultural Manipulation
- Stage 6: Escalation/Intensification/Generalization
The Role of Brainwashing
- Brainwashing is a key part of this process, involving applying specific techniques to instill a negative view of the target parent in the child's mind.
- Brainwashing methods include repetition, negative modeling, coercion, limiting choices, and manipulation of information.
Indicators of Parental Alienation
- Language: Use of terms like “we,” “us,” “them,” and “ours” can indicate the child's loyalty has been divided.
- Testing Loyalty: The alienating parent observes the child's behavior, seeking to control their time, thoughts, and opinions about the other parent.
- Assaulting All Dimensions: This process often escalates to encompass a broad range of negative aspects of the target parent’s life, from their character to parenting ability.
Consequences of Parental Alienation
- Mental and Social Harm: The alienation process can harm the child's mental and social development.
- Distorted Relationship Views: Children may develop distorted perceptions of relationships in general due to the manipulated environment.
- Difficulty in Court Cases: It can make legal proceedings about custody and abuse cases more challenging due to the child's manipulated views.
Professionals' Responsibility
- It is important for mental health professionals, evaluators, and other legal professionals to be aware of the signs and consequences of parental alienation.
Brainwashing & Programming
- The term “brainwashing” was likely first used by American journalist Ed Hunter for the form of thought control used in mainland China following the Communist takeover.
- Hunter was told by a Chinese informant about the practice, who used the term “hsi nao” (literally “to wash the brain”).
- In political arenas, the term “brainwashing” is commonly associated with Asians, such as Russians and Muslim fundamentalists, and often linked to intense, rigorous processes.
- Brainwashing is sometimes perceived as a powerful and unstoppable tool for directing a person's thoughts against their will.
- Brainwashing can begin during childhood and teach children to make sacrifices for the "greater good".
- According to Hunter, brainwashing toward political ends uses two main methods.
- The first method is to instill confession by creating exposure to past and present “evils,” followed by induced renunciation of those evils.
- The second method is the educational phase, where individuals are taught new beliefs that replace the previous ones.
- The stripping process, which can be physical (removing materials and restrictions) or social/psychological (removing love and affection) is commonly used in domestic relations cases where an adult seeks to control the child's thoughts.
- Repetition is a key component of brainwashing, as it creates a mindset receptive to the programmer's goals.
- Brainwashing requires defining boundaries for the in-group and establishing that those outside the group ("they") are unacceptable.
- To reinforce the new family unit, individuals use tactics that emphasize "we-ness"—a sense of solidarity that forms a social base for programming and brainwashing.
- Inferior status is a powerful mechanism for social control, making a child feel like a secondary citizen and lowering their standing in the family through exclusion, rejection, and withholding affection.
- Cultural values, rituals, and norms play vital roles in redefining a group and instilling new beliefs.
- Programming and brainwashing can occur in different degrees and impact children.
Impact Measures
- Programming and brainwashing can occur in different levels of intensity.
- Higher intensity can involve repeated serious attacks on social, psychological, economic, spiritual, family, and parenting aspects of a person's life.
- Moderate intensity involves attacks on specific areas of a person's life, such as socioeconomic or family relationships.
- Lower intensity can manifest in less severe attacks.
- Programming and brainwashing impact the child's language, susceptibility to backlash effect, damaged trust, inner conflicts, comfort with the target parent, perception of the programming parent, and sense of integration with both parents.
Stages of Programming/Brainwashing
- Brainwashing is a multi-stage process.
- The first stage involves the child shortening conversations with the target parent on the phone.
- The second stage involves the child using the same gestures as the programming parent when referring to the target parent.
- The third stage involves the child speaking to the target parent in the same tone and content as used by the programming parent.
- The fourth stage is the compliance stage, where the child aligns their behavior and attitudes with the programming.
- The fifth stage involves gathering feedback and includes assessing the effectiveness of the programming.
- The sixth stage involves testing the effectiveness of the program.
- The seventh stage is a part of the feedback assessment process.
- The eighth stage is the loyalty stage, where the child's loyalty to the programming parent increases.
- The brainwashing process involves asking questions to uncover potential conflicts, bias, and misunderstandings within the target parent's home to reinforce and further implement the program.
- Material and emotional rewards are given to the child when they provide the "correct" feedback or answer.
Loyalty Measures
- The seventh stage is a component of the feedback assessment.
- The final stage involves ensuring that the child's loyalty to the programming parent remains strong.
