30.Jul.2010 Custody Evaluators’ Beliefs About Domestic Violence Allegations During Divorce
This was a study done at the University of Illinois by Megan L. Haselschwerdt, Jennifer L. Hardesty, and Jason D. Hans. It is pretty good, but I take issue with thinking that domestic violence training will help. There are many custody evaluators that are in the “club” at the courthouse, and get more business based [...]
26.Jul.2010 Yes, There IS a Crisis in Family Courts
Glenn Sacks and Fathers & Families are crowing about defeating the Center of Judicial Excellence’s attempt to have junk science thrown out of the courtroom. Women get screwed frequently in family courts nationwide….guys do too.

29.Jun.2010 Beware! If Your Child is an “Independent Thinker” They May Have “Parental Alienation Disorder”
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 [...]
14.Jun.2010 Personality Assessment
Here is an article that goes into more depth as far as personality testing goes.

They have a lot of leeway in coming up with anything they feel [...]
13.Jun.2010 More Psychological Testing: Personality Tests
In the quest to find any fault with moms, psychological testing is extensive in some custody battles. Personality testing may be something that is lobbed your way…educate yourself on the tests they are making you take, then investigate the results. Sometimes the results can be twisted to fit the bias of the tester being paid [...]
05.Jun.2010 Anger, Hostility and Aggression Assessment
This is a good summary of what is out there for assessing anger, hostility and aggression. The bad thing though is that often the angry, hostile and/or aggressive person can buy their way out of accountability by purchasing their own Whore of the Court to discount or ignore the truth. Anger, Hostility and Aggression INTRODUCTION [...]

03.Jun.2010 The Child Abuse Potential Inventory
One more psychological test for the night…the Child Abuse Potential Inventory. I really wonder sometimes how valid these tests are…after all, I imagine they are peer-reviewed, and they have to present some science into the validity….but aren’t the psychologists always watching each other’s backs. These instruments provide a nice little boost of income for them [...]

02.Jun.2010 More Child Custody Psychological Testing: The Parent-Child Relationship Inventory
This is another test that is typical to take in a child custody evaluation. It is one of the four I took. Educate yourself on these tests, as sometimes the results get twisted to fit the bias of the tester. This does happen, so don’t let the wool be pulled over your eyes. Investigate, check [...]
01.Jun.2010 Another Psychological Test Used in Custody Evaluations: The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory III
Continuing on with another psychological test you could be faced with… If you are asked to take this test, please educate yourself on it.

09.Apr.2010 Parental Alienation Awareness Day
If a group of pedophiles and abusers named their cause, “Abusers Awareness Day”, no one would help champion their goals. There needs to be a little bit of propaganda to blanket their true goals. Richard Gardner gave them that blanket by promoting ideas that society should punish those to speak against abuse as, “sick” and [...]
