Overview of Dr. Warshak’s Services
Dr. Warshak provides specialized forensic consultation and research-informed guidance in cases involving severe parental conflict, parental alienation, and complex custody disputes. His work is grounded in decades of clinical experience, scholarship, and professional training related to high-conflict family dynamics.
These services are educational and forensic in nature. They are designed to support legal processes, assist courts and professionals, and help parents understand the dynamics underlying parent-child disruption. They are not therapy or ongoing clinical treatment.
Dr. Warshak maintains a deliberately limited caseload. He accepts only cases where his specialized expertise will add meaningful value to judicial decision-making, litigation strategy, or family understanding of alienation dynamics.
Who These Services Are For
Dr. Warshak supports a broad range of audiences confronting severe custody conflict and parent-child relationship breakdowns.
Courts and judicial officers seek independent expert analysis in matters involving allegations of parental alienation, unjustified child rejection, or entrenched alignment dynamics.
Attorneys engage Dr. Warshak for strategic consultation, research guidance, and expert support in litigation involving complex custody disputes, allegations of alienation, or disputed evaluations.
Parents and grandparents consult with Dr. Warshak via telephone or video conference to understand the psychological processes contributing to family conflict. These consultations provide education and strategic guidance rather than ongoing treatment.
Mental health professionals request consultation on difficult cases involving entrenched alienation, stalled reunification efforts, or questions about appropriate assessment and intervention strategies.
Litigation Consultation
Consultation services for parents and attorneys focus on education, strategic planning, and interpretation of research relevant to parental alienation and complex custody disputes.
Phone/Zoom Consultations
Consultations give parents, stepparents, grandparents, and professionals dealing with severe child relationship breakdowns, the unique chance to obtain individual, personal guidance and family insight, and about how best to build or restore positive relationships.
Speaking Engagements
Dr. Warshak is a sought-after speaker, trainer, and media commentator. He provides expertise for television, radio, podcasts, and print, helping broaden public understanding of complex custody issues.
Expert Witness Services
In rare cases, Dr. Warshak may agree to serve as a testifying expert in custody litigation. These engagements are limited to matters where his testimony is essential to clarify parental alienation research, assessment standards, or methodological concerns in prior evaluations.
Warshak Parental Questionnaire
Professionals use the WPQ to improve the quality of their consultations and evaluations and to document their work. The WPQ is a cost-effective means to elicit comprehensive data with no additional investment of the professional’s time.
Service Availability and Case Selection
Dr. Warshak accepts only those cases where his involvement is professionally appropriate and likely to be useful. Cases may be declined due to conflicts of interest, insufficient alignment with his expertise, or caseload limitations.
Preliminary case review may require basic documentation such as court orders, prior evaluations, or treatment records. This information helps determine whether his involvement would be beneficial and ethically appropriate.
