I finally found the text of what Dr. William Bernet submitted for consideration for inclusion in the DSM-V, the diagnostic bible used by ethical psychologists/psychiatrists and Court Whores alike. Dr. Bernet and some of the magical “50 professionals” (who all make a significant portion of their income promoting this) were recently at the Denver AFCC (Association of Family and Conciliation Courts – the father’s rights-leaning association for judges and court whores) conference and engaged in debate with Dr. Peter Jaffe and others about the so-called “parental alienation disorder.” The text below came from that conference.
As one with multiple scientific degrees, I was very interested in seeing the proposal. I found it to be more of a sales pitch instead of one scientifically driven. What I found most laughable was on the diagnostic criteria it included “independent thinker phenomenon.” Yes, it ACTUALLY says this towards the end. How far out can these court whores reach to bizarro world? What is scary is that if the DSM-V committee buys this drivel, the court whores and lawyers will be unleashed to destroy children and their families.
