The tabs along the top of this site provide the email addresses of key members of the APA leadership. It also provides links to the contact information for your state and provincial psychological association representatives.

Send each leader and your state or provincial representative an email. Send each of them an email every day or each week if you want. Make all of them aware of the abuse of our children. Let them know we expect them to publicly recognize our situation.

Tell the APA we have waited patiently, but our patience has run out. We have been writing to them for two years now, and although we appreciate the working group they approved, it still has not been formed. Our children are currently, actively being abused and cannot afford to wait another year or two for the working gwidthroup to be formed and then to review the scientific literature. We are a population of families that require real and immediate help, right now.

Tell the APA our families desperately need them to change their position statement on Parental Alienation, or put out a newsletter, or post an announcement on their website. Tell the APA we need them to somehow publicly announce the following two things:

1. Acknowledge that the family pathology of “parental alienation” exists, using whatever terminology the APA wants; cross-generational coalition, trauma reenactment pathology, “parental alienation” – whatever – just acknowledge it exists.

2. Designate the children and families experiencing this attachment-related family pathology as representing a “special population” requiring specialized professional knowledge and expertise in the attachment system, personality disorder pathology, and family systems therapy to competently assess, diagnose, and treat.

To help make an even larger impact, put in the subject of your emails "#Erased Mom/Dad/Grandma/Uncle" whatever you may be. This is a powerful meme and, along with our emails, will help them understand we are all united, working together, as a single force, with a single voice, and a single purpose.

Dr. Craig Childress has written a blog post specifically for the APA leadership entitled "The Silence of the APA". Copy and paste the link into your emails:

Dr. Childress' post reminds the APA of their ethics code, and that having "no position on parental alienation" means the APA is enabling the abuse of our children.

The APA will only listen to all of us if you contact them and make your child's voice heard. You are the key. Your voice with the rest of us will turn the attention of the APA to where it rightfully belongs: our children!

There is no excuse anymore for the APA to continue sitting on the fence while our children are being abused.

Assert your reality upon the APA, just like the alienator asserts their reality onto the people around them. The difference is that your reality is the truth.

The voices of targeted parents will not be enough without your voice. We are not strong enough without you.
