"The Leadership Council" and PAS

Submitted by Matt on Wed, 2010-10-06 12:00

An anonymous submission mentioned "The Leadership Council", a group I never heard of before, and very generically-named at that. I Googled the phrase and discovered such a group indeed exists and is working to discredit FRAs' efforts around PAS issues, among other things. The PAS-related page is here. From their Mission page:

'The Leadership Council is a nonprofit independent scientific organization composed of respected scientists, clinicians, educators, legal scholars, journalists, and public policy analysts.
...
Goals
...
- To correct misinformation on psychological science used to serve vested interests or used as evidence in important cases affecting legal rights related to mental health issues.
- To improve coordination among professionals, develop guidelines, encourage research, further interdisciplinary professional education, and provide guidance, support, and encouragement for professionals in the field of traumatic studies.'

A casual walk through the web site will reveal that it is a feminist propaganda machine with cherry-picked research on such issues as PAS, DV, child custody, etc.

It's a little scary how they keep that hidden, frankly.
