Description

Here is the professional practice assessment, intervention, and treatment manual that will clearly direct you as a judge, mental health professional, GAL, lawyer, school official, family member, case manager, police officer, doctor, nurse, social worker, etc. in your assessment and treatment of victims of abuse and battering by a covert narcissist. Lundy Bancroft’s pioneering work in The Batterer as Parent book and his “Assessing Risk to Children from Batterers” included in this manual are key essentials for education in this arena of the silent epidemic of predation of women and children by covert narcissist batterers in and out of the family court system.
This is the “Go-To” Providers’ Practice manual for ethical, lawful, and clinically sound professional practice in the assessment and treatment of children and families enduring narcissistic abuse where I illustrate the cluster of personality characteristics of abusers and demonstrate their pattern of battering and abuse tactics laying it all out clearly for providers to accurately assess the criminal behavior by a narcissist/batterer before children become absorbed into the hate campaign for their other parent and left in toxic dangerous home environments at risk for death and/or serious psychological injury which lasts a lifetime.

The Case of Nightmare in Hostage Hills: A Practitioners Guide to the Assessment and Treatment of Victims of Batterers/Abusers/Narcissists
Introduction
“Most of the public, like most professionals, are unaware of the catastrophe taking place in America’s family courts. This is because, until recently, the problem has received very limited coverage. Nightmare in Hostage Hills book is important because it combines the two things that are needed: an interesting and, indeed, compelling story and the research that puts the story in perspective.” Forward, Nightmare in Hostage Hills , xii, Barry Goldstein, Esq., 2018}This is the professional practice manual to accompany Nightmare in Hostage Hills available at www.christinamask.com
As you enter this dark world of narcissism/battering/terrorism of one’s spouse and family, one must take a different stance as a clinician as you sift through the pieces of humanity that are before you in your office having survived predation, spiritual and psychological consumption by a creature-abuser parent- who thirsts for conquering the soul, devouring the psyche of its victim whether psychological death or physical or both. It is the ultimate evil on our planet which is being exposed in this book. The utmost acceptance of where your client is-psychologically and spiritually captured, fragmented, still suffering effects of terrorism and war waged upon him or her is often evident in the eyes- unable to stay focused, anxiety, or a body shivering in PTSD as pieces of a human being victimized by a psychopath/batterer are held intact by survival.
The outside appearance- academic, physical, employment, community- performance may be stellar or diminished as human beings will often excel in areas of their lives where they do have control in abuse cases and/or isolate from normal activities and diminished functioning may result. This is the presentation of a child or adult victim of a malignant narcissist. Treating such a person demands the most profound respect of the human psyche to survive and work to recover from the talons of a malignant narcissist which are likened to emerging from the tactics of a cult leader in his domination of victims. Pieces and fragments of a soul slowly come back when proper intervention provides them with avenues of safety away from abusiveness and acumen in PTSD/CPTSD treatment to heal. Expertise in compassion and understanding where your client is in space and time emotionally and spiritually is required from a clinician in working with such victims.
“The central goal in structuring custody and visitation in domestic violence cases should be the safety and security of the child’s primary residence and support for the healthy flourishing of the child’s relationships with his or her siblings and with the mother.” {The Batterer as Parent: Addressing the Impact of Domestic Violence on Family Dynamics , 2 nd Ed., Bancroft, Silverman, & Ritchie, 2012, p. 250} { Nightmare in Hostage Hills , p. 147}
Chapter 1
“The Child’s Voice”
Left to be shredded by a terrorist/predator are children and spouses of men who on the outside appear as respectable members of the community, coaching our kids’ soccer teams, serving as upstanding members of our church community, acting as Board members at the hospital or trustees at the local YMCA and are envied by others for their high-paying jobs or the affluent neighborhoods in which they and our families live. Victims of malignant narcissists must suppress behaviors which do not align with the tyrant’s agenda of power and control for there are dire consequences to children and/or spouses. As Dr. Craig Childress so eloquently expresses how a child strives to survive the environment of a narcissist parent from Nightmare in Hostage Hills, p. 38 :
p.38 “As long as the child must live in the world of the narcissistic/(borderline) parent, as long as we cannot protect the child from the psychopathology of the narcissistic/(borderline) parent, the child must find a way to psychologically survive in that world.” …Dr. Childress continues through an intuitive, empathic experience of a child experiencing what you guys may have had to endure in his 1 st session with the child on a visit with their victimized/ targeted mother:
“Child (in her mind’s imagination): “Dr. Childress, can you help me escape from here? I’m trapped, buried deep inside. I don’t want to reject my mother. I love my mother. But I have to reject her because it’s what my dad requires me to do. He’ll torment me if I don’t. Can you rescue me? Can you help me escape from here?
Dr. C (in my mind’s imagination): I’ll see what I can do.
Child (in her mind’s imagination): “But Dr. Childress, don’t get me half way out. Because if you only get me half way out my dad will torment me for showing affection for my mom, for not rejecting my mom. If you can’t rescue me, if you can’t get me all the way out, then just leave me here.”
Dr. C (in my mind’s imagination): Okay, I’ll see what I can do.
“Help me. My authenticity is trapped deep inside here. Please, I want you to rescue me.
But if you can’t get me all the way out, if you can’t rescue me, then leave me here, because otherwise the pathological parent will torment me if I try to escape but can’t get fully away.”
“At least if my authenticity is buried deep inside, hidden beyond my awareness, then it’s safe. If you expose it but cannot protect it, then the narcissistic/(borderline) parent will destroy it.” { Stark Reality , https://drcraigchildressblog.com/2014/07/29/stark-reality/ p. 2-3, Dr. Craig Childress, 2014}
