"The High-Conflict Custody Battle is a joint effort by writers with
complementary skills and expertise: Amy J. L. Baker, PhD, is a
research psychologist who has studied child psychological abuse; J.
Michael Bone, PhD, is a clinical and forensic psychologist; and
Brian Ludmer, BComm, LLB, is an attorney whose practice focusses on
high conflict family law. The three authors have created a book
that is both scholarly and highly practical, which will be helpful
for mothers and fathers who find themselves coping with a
difficult, overly litigious marital separation or divorce. The book
addresses in detail the personal and legal crises that frequently
occur in high-conflict divorce, such as parental alienation;
allegations of domestic violence and child sexual abuse; and
undertaking a child custody evaluation. It is notable that the
authors acknowledge that all the participants in these legal
battles have both flaws and biases, so no one is expected to be
perfect. Although this book is primarily intended for divorcing
parents, it will also be good reading for mental health and legal
professionals, including judges."
--William Bernet, MD, professor emeritus in the department of
psychiatry, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville,

"Having recently tried the most publicized parental alienation case
to a successful conclusion, I highly recommend this book for
parents coping with an alienating spouse. The authors have provided
an effective guide to assist parents through difficult litigation.
This book should be read by every targeted parent."
--Jim Pritikin, fellow of The American Academy of Matrimonial
Lawyers
"In each journey through parental alienation, it is easy to lose
the way. What seems to be a clear and just path in navigating
family court is not always reality. Amy J. L. Baker, Brian Ludmer,
and J. Michael Bone have given alienated parents a comprehensive
road map that allows them to make their journey through this highly
emotional period with level heads and hearts. The authors' work
empowers readers and leaves them feeling revived, secure, and
confident as they travel to their final destination: reunification
with their children."
--Jill Egizii, president of the Parental Alienation Awareness
Organization, USA
"When three great minds like these collaborate, a prism is created
through which a light of wisdom can shine in the darkest of places.
A must-read for all people touched by this unfathomable
dilemma."
--Judge Michele Lowrance (ret), mediator and author of The Good
Karma Divorce and Parental Alienation 911
