This book explores the impact of lies, selfishness and revenge within families in conflict. When these motivations are found, the main people affected are the children, resulting in a number of affectations that impact the mental health of the whole family. We consider it important to be able to bring to the users of Psychology and Law their experiences regarding how parental interference impacts the rights of family members and how mental health is the primary scenario of affectation.
In this postulate we propose a book constructed in two parts. The first part corresponds to the findings and professional experiences of psychologists and lawyers with regard to domestic violence in contexts of parental interference and the relationship between science, public policy and legal contexts. The second part is oriented towards recording the experiences of fathers and mothers who have been victims of parental interference so severe that it has led to false accusations of violence or sexual abuse or dubious accusations based on gender-distorting ideologies. These experiences are important because most publications are by professionals with a technical outlook and victims are rarely able to write about their victimisation, which makes this book a cohesive element between the technical and the experiential.
This proposal aims to bring the affected family closer to the professionals so that in a synergy within the framework of rights, it is understood how the professionals can help those affected and how those affected can orient themselves towards the choice of a suitable professional.
We encourage readers to raise their voices against the lack of scientific development in judicial decisions and we are aware that nowadays the best way to guarantee good mental health in families is an exercise of justice based on science, therefore we reiterate: "More science is more justice".
