Toronto Hosts International Conference on Parental Alienation Syndrome
TORONTO, Jan. 18 /CNW/ - From March 27-29, 2009, Toronto is the host city for the first annual conference on the topic of Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS). It will be taking place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, and twenty of the world's foremost experts in parental alienation will be speaking. This educational conference is targeting Canadian, as well as international mental health professionals, family law attorneys and other professionals dedicated to the prevention and treatment of Parental Alienation and Parental Alienation Syndrome. Parents whose children suffer from this mental health condition are very welcome to attend.
"I'm proud of the fact that our conference is being lauded for its ability to educate professionals on the topic of Parental Alienation. Parental Alienation Syndrome is what happens when a parent uses alienating behavior to turn a child's love into hate against the other parent. It's not a matter of poor parenting, it's a crime against a child. It's child abuse and we need to approach these parents as abusers." says Joe Goldberg, Host and Founder of the symposium. "This conference is an opportunity for parents and professionals to acquire intervention and treatment solutions and to help modify the way the courts protect the best interest of children."
The speakers at the three day symposium are leaders in the field of psychology, family law, children's services, law enforcement and supervised visitation. Speakers include: Amy Baker, Ph.D., a prominent researcher in developmental psychology; Michael Bone, Ph.D, a specialist in parental alienation, and Demosthenes Lorandos, Ph.D., a specialist in clinical psychology.
