I work
with individals and families who have experienced trauma and chronic illness,
developmental disorders, and the
normal processes of change along the life cycle.I have trained and supervised many psychologists and other mental healthcare specialists over many years.
To the extent that professional incompetence in diagnosing narcissistic and borderline personality
processes involved in a cross-generational parent - child coalition causes
developmental, emotional, and psychological harm to the child client through the loss of an affectionally bonded attachment relationship
with a
normal - range and affectionally available parent (i.e., the parent who is rejected by the child as a result of the undiagnosed and so untreated psychopathology and pathogenic parenting of the narcissistic / (borderline) allied and supposedly «favored» parent within the parent - child coalition), this may represent negligent professional practice that is directly responsible for causing harm to the client.
