  9. Episode 251 Sibling Rivalry or Sibling Abuse

    In this episode Brook has back as a special guest Amy Meyers. This episode I think is an under explored aspect of the family dynamics that arise in High Conflict custody cases and when I found Amy's expertise in this area I knew I wanted to address it in a podcast. Dr. Meyers has some amazing insights on this subject and I think it will induce exploration for all that listen. Enjoy!!!

     

    Dr. Meyers is a professor of Social work at Molloy University in Long Island New York and her podcast is What Would Dr. Meyers Do.
