I think the practice of removing a child from their main caregiver to give them to the other parent, unless there are assault charges or abuse charges or there's a really high risk, needs to be banned. I think reunification therapy, if you describe it in that way, also needs to be banned, because basically what we're doing is similar to conversion therapy. It's an untrained professional with no domestic violence training. There is no regulation. Because parental alienation is not under the scope of practice for psychologists, they let it go, and the College of Social Workers seems to be mute on it, but that's where most of the practitioners are, in social work. If they get complaints, they just continue as unlicensed instead.
