Conference Workshop

Resisting Distance: An NVR-based Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) for 'Parental Alienation' Cases in Family Court Proceedings (with Penny Ruth Willis)


Drawing from our own research, clinical and lived experiences of dysfunctional family systems (enmeshment, estrangement, and coercive control), the NVRnorthampton team have spent much of the past three years adapting NVR to address parent-child contact problems. We have two family-court confirmed parental alienation case pilots of this approach to share with you.
