When mental health professionals make the WRONG
diagnosis concerning the pathology of attachment - based «parental alienation» as incorrectly being the product of the child's oppositional - defiant behavior
or as being caused by the problematic parenting of the targeted - rejected parent, this leads to
incorrect and entirely ineffective
treatment, and the patient (i.e., the child's healthy development and the child's healthy loving relationship with a normal - range and affectionally available parent) dies as a direct consequence of the misdiagnosis by the mental health professional.
