Surviving Parental Alienation

Amy J. L. Baker, Paul R. Fine · Rowman & Littlefield eBooks · 2014

<JATS1:p>Half of all marriages end, and, when they do, most parents hope to achieve a “good divorce” in which they can amicably raise their children with their former spouse. Unfortunately, about 20% of divorces are high-conflict, involving frequent visits to court, allegations of abuse, and chronic disagreements regarding parenting schedules.</JATS1:p> <JATS1:p>In response to this conflict, some children become aligned with one parent against the other – even a parent who has done nothing to warrant the hostile rejection of their formerly loving children. These “targeted” parents suffer from the loss of time with their children, the pain of watching their children become distant, even cruel, and the uncertainty of not knowing if and when their children will come back to them. These parents are on a painful journey with an uncertain outcome. Surviving Parental Alienation fills the tremendous need for concrete help for these parents.</JATS1:p> <JATS1:p>Too often parental alienation stories that are shared by word of mouth, on the internet, or in books depict unending pain and frightening outcomes. Surviving Parental Alienation provides true stories and information about parents who have reconnected with their lost and stolen children, and offers better insight and understanding into what exactly parental alienation is and how to handle it.</JATS1:p> <JATS1:p>Targeted parents are desperate to be understood and to find cause for hope, even as they search for answers. Surviving Parental Alienation is where they can start to find this hope.</JATS1:p>

What Is Alienation?

Chris Yuill · 2023

Jackie began to cry out of anger. She showed me a picture. It was supposedly the staff room for her and her colleagues to take a break during the day or shelter when it was raining. The room was little more than a small toilet with a microwave on a nearby shelf. The toilet was broken and circled by brown stains on the floor around it. She hated her job. It reduced her to tears most days and she told me about the sense of dread she experienced before she went to sleep and, in the morning, when she awoke about what the day would bring.

Alienation (Plessner – Adorno)

Katja Haustein · Cambridge University Press eBooks · 2023

Chapter 3 looks at Plessner’s Limits of Community (1924) and Adorno’s Minima Moralia (1951) to show that, despite their conflicting theoretical assumptions, both thinkers arrive at surprisingly similar conclusions. Both fundamentally disagree on various key concepts that shape their theories of tact: alienation, for example, is for Adorno a temporary state of human existence that we need to overcome. For Plessner, by contrast, it is what makes us human in the first place, setting us apart from animals and plants. And yet, both share a suspicion of certain forms of intimacy and touch, and a preference for individual difference over communal identification. In my close analysis of their writing, I argue that Plessner’s and Adorno’s theories of tact contribute to an ethic of indirectness that defies any strategies of incorporation. On a hermeneutic level, they allow us to develop new modes of non-violent contemplation. On a social level, they find their literal realisation in times of a pandemic, when keeping your distance and wearing a mask can be interpreted as a dystopic sign of isolation, while it can also be seen as an expression of cooperation (not fusion), solicitude, and care.

Identity and Alienation

Linda Schaumann · SHILAP Revista de lepidopterología · 2020

In Das Selbst als ein Anderer lässt Ricœur die personale Identität in verschiedenen Hinsichten Andersheit in sich begreifen; das Selbst steht in einem intimen Verhältnis zum Anderen und zum zeitlichen Wandel. Dabei umfasst Identität das Identifiziert-sein und das Sich-identifizieren. Letzteres kann auch nur darin bestehen, im Rahmen des Worthaltens eine fehlende tatsächliche Identifikation zu kompensieren. Es ergibt sich bei Ricœur daraus, dass ein Anderer von mir ein bestimmtes Reden und Handeln erwartet. Der Artikel zeigt, in Abgrenzung dazu, wie Worthalten mit Kant verstanden werden kann, dass hierin eine Nicht-Achtung meiner Autonomie liegt, die Entfremdung ist. Diese Entfremdung kann nur durch eine instrumentelle Auffassung meines Handelns kompensiert werden. Als Beispiel einer solchen Kompensation führe ich Blacks Konzept des Humbugs an. Mit Heideggers Konzept des Man und in Auseinandersetzung mit dem postfordistischen Arbeitsmarkt zeige ich dann, dass eine instrumentelle Identifikation mit einem sozial erwarteten Handeln jedoch auch zur Entfremdung führt.

Alienation and property

Shlomo Avineri · Cambridge University Press eBooks · 1968

Marx formed his ideas on alienation through confrontation with Hegel's views on Entfremdung in the Phenomenology. Marx's discussion is thus related to issues of general philosophical significance, and the more limited idea of alienated labour is meaningful only within this wider context. Marx's critique of the way in which Hegel handled the question of alienation restates Marx's general critique of philosophical idealism, and the Marxian version of materialism emerges from this discussion of alienation. Marx's views on alienation and his materialism are thus inseparable.

Perimenopausal Women's Alienation

Joan Engebretson, Diane Wind Wardell · Journal of Holistic Nursing · 1997

A feminist perspective was used to interpret data gathered from perimenopausal women using hormonal replacement therapy. Silence was the most pervasive and disquieting theme. These women parroted biomedical cognizance and iterated little authentic expression of experience. This silence reflected the women's existential position of the double other, marginalized first by being a woman and second by reason of medical norms for women being based on reproductive function. This position of alienation is explored within the context of Western culture and the patriarchal values of rationality and science. Implications are drawn for holistic nurses to facilitate women's physical awareness and articulation of their personal experiences.
