Original Article: Exploring Parent–Child Relationships in Alienated versus Neglected/Emotionally Abused Children using the Bene‐Anthony Family Relations Test
Authors: Nigel Blagg and Eva Godfrey
First published online: 15 NOV 2018 | DOI: 10.1002/car.2537
- The Bene‐Anthony Family Relations Test is an invaluable clinical tool for exploring children’s feelings about their family relationships.
- Children’s expressed wishes about their parents are paradoxical in cases of both alienation and neglect/emotional abuse.
- Assessments of children need to identify their ascertainable rather than expressed wishes. This requires a comprehensive multimodal psychological assessment involving all family members, cross‐referencing information from all sources from a longitudinal perspective.
