Welcome Back, Pluto™ - A DVD
Welcome Back, Pluto: Understanding, Preventing, and Overcoming Parental Alienation
This professionally-produced DVD is designed to help children and teenagers see family problems from another perspective and avoid taking sides with one parent against the other. The program helps children empathize with the suffering of rejected parents and understand their favored parent's perspective, and motivates children to restore positive relationships.
Parents will find valuable tips for helping their children adjust better when parents live apart from each other. The 83-minute DVD is suitable for viewing by parents and children together or separately. It is also a valuable tool for therapists and counselors working with families in which children have, or are in danger of developing, a ruptured relationship with a parent.

Benefits and Hazards of Involving Children in Custody Decisions (DVD)
On this DVD, see and hear Dr. Warshak deliver what he considers one of his finest speeches. This entertaining and very well-received keynote address was delivered to an audience of judges, attorneys, and mental health professionals.
Dr. Warshak explains why and how children can make important contributions to custody decisions. But he cautions professionals about the risks of damage to children and their families when children participate in custody decisions. Dr. Warshak presents more than a dozen hazards that should be considered before eliciting and placing weight on children's and adolescent's stated preferences in custody disputes. He highlights the harm for the family when a child publically takes a stand against a parent and he illustrates the manner in which therapists can involve children without placing them in the middle of their parents' conflicts. Dr. Warshak then introduces the concept of the "collective voice of children" to describe how research can bring children's voices into custody decisions while sparing children the pitfalls of direct participation.

About the Title
For 76 years Pluto was part of our family of planets. Then, one day in 2006, astronomers decided that Pluto was not worthy of being considered a planet. The word "plutoed" has come to mean "to be demoted or devalued."
I thought Pluto was an apt symbol for alienated parents who have been demoted by their children. It also symbolizes the emotional and physical distance between alienated children and the family they reject. For children who have cast a parent out of their lives, or are thinking about doing so, or one of their parents thinks it would be okay to reject the other parent, this program gives children another, healthier, perspective. Welcome Back, Pluto can help children recover, and keep, the family they deserve.
