A fine addition to the literature on PA by Edward Watters (San Francisco)  5 Stars
August 29, 2009
A collection of stories from adults who experienced parental alienation with analysis and synthesis of the patterns. As a 'targeted' parent of an 11 y/o daughter who I haven't been able to hug in over a year and a half, I learned from the survivors quite a bit about what my daughter is going through and what she would want me to do, if she could tell me.

Realization of PAS has lifted my Heart by Rhonda Pisanello (Rimbey, AB. Canada) 5 Stars
May 17, 2009
I can not express enough my gratitude to this book. I am an adult child of alienation and stumpled upon this knowledge trying to help a friend who was having problems seeing his own son. When I read this book it made me realize the tragedy that was inflicted on our whole family because of one of my parents. I now have been able to forgive myself for all the behaviour troubles I had as a child and teen. I realized my reactions were because of the treatment inflicted upon me. I have carried alot of guilt for many years and it is for the most part dissolved now. Thank you so much for all your research Ms. Baker. This book should be read by every Family Court Judge and all lawyers, it explains the deceiving and calculated behaviours of an alienating parent so well and gives tremendous insight and help on dealing with any child who also suffers with PA. Wonderfully written.

Excellent resource by Janet 5 Stars
March 31, 2009
As a Targeted Parent, I know how messy a subject this is. Keeping sticky notes, a pencil and tissues nearby when I read this was essential. I just gave this book to my ex-husband at the courthouse yesterday and await his feedback. Next on my list is our 26 year old daughter. Hopefully, she won't accuse me of stalking her again.

Excellent book/Study by Havin Fun 5 Stars
August 30, 2008
As a targeted parent whose daughter has not spoken with him for the last 5 years, Amy Baker's book, "Adult Children of Parental Alienation Syndrome: Breaking the Ties that Bind" has been the most informational and encouraging book I've read on the P.A.S. topic so far.
The reason is simple: This book is comprised of interviews of the KIDS (now adults) who were poisoned, not the parents who were either the alienator or target.
It was astonishing to read what these people, who as children were manipulated into hating one of their parents, had to say once they "woke up".
Without going into all of the results, let me mention the two most important lessons I learned from these kids:
1. The average length of time it took these kids to "wake up" was 20 years. Yikes! But, at least they woke up.
2. The overwhelming majority had wished the targeted parent tried harder to re-develop the relationship, regardless of how much they were "hated".
These two revelations are telling me: "Don't ever give up. Don't ever stop trying".
Thanks to Amy for doing this study and writing this book. It could prove to be the most important document I will see until I eventually reunite with my daughter.

Adult Children of Paretal Alienation Syndrome; Breaking the Ties that BInd by Samuel D. Moss 5 Stars
August 13, 2008
Being a "targeted" parent as described in the book made this book quite helpful for me to understand exactly what I and my kids have and are going through. Dr. Baker's research and descriptions from those interviewed posted incredible similarities to my own experiences and gave me a new sense of hope.
If you are in fact a parent that has been alienated from your kids by another, this book is a must read. If you were alienated as a child from one of your parents, this book is no less an important read. If you are a therapist that counsels people in this position, it will prove to be an invaluable referance tool.
