Dr. Warshak's Telephone and Video Consultations
Dr. Warshak consults by telephone and video conference with clients throughout the world. However, to spend more time on research, writing, and pro bono work, Dr. Warshak limits the number of clients he accepts each year.
Typically, the initial consultation is 1½ hours. This allows sufficient time for Dr. Warshak to get sufficient background information and to offer feedback on current concerns. Upon request Dr. Warshak may use some of the time reserved to review documents (such as a chronology of events) prior to the consultation.
Consultations give parents, stepparents, and grandparents the unique chance to obtain individual, personal guidance and insight from Dr. Warshak about their family situation. Where there is a concern about children (young or adult) who are alienated or at risk of becoming alienated from a parent or grandparent, Dr. Warshak will offer his understanding of the situation and about how best to proceed to build or restore positive parent-child relationships.
Dr. Warshak has more than 40 years of experience, with several thousand parents, as a clinical, consulting, and research psychologist. His groundbreaking studies appear in 18 books and more than 90 articles in eighteen languages, including a consensus report on parenting plans for young children that was endorsed by 110 researchers and practitioners and published by the American Psychological Association. Dr. Warshak’s work on relocation has influenced decisions in two Supreme Courts and his studies are cited in international caselaw and legislation. Dr. Warshak has consulted on many cases throughout the world, including some that resulted in precedent-setting judicial decisions.
Dr. Warshak’s book, Divorce Poison: How To Protect Your Family from Bad-mouthing and Brainwashing, is widely regarded as a classic. His video, Welcome Back, Pluto: Understanding, Preventing, and Overcoming Parental Alienation, is used in every state in the U.S. and 32 foreign countries.
Email Dr. Warshak to ask about Dr. Warshak’s availability and to request further information regarding consultation policies and fees. He regrets that he is unable to speak with every person who seeks his help.
Please note that Dr. Warshak's conferences by telephone and other electronic means are not psychotherapy, are not intended as a substitute for therapy, and are not covered by health insurance. Although Dr. Warshak is a licensed psychologist, he does not consider the coaching and observations he provides during telephone conferences as the provision of psychological services
