Superlative Account of PAS

The masterful -- and often beautiful -- prose saves this autobiographical account of Parental Alienation Syndrome and Parental Kidnapping from becoming too painful to read. All PAS stories are horror stories, yet all need no be uncritically subjective. Black's profound introspectiveness shows us how her own shaky family foundation set her up to be a perfect target for a predatory spouse (clearly narrcissistic and sociopathic). The book can rightly be judged a classic of modern autobiography. Its psychological insight makes a perfect complement to serious non-fiction treatments of PAS.
