  Title: Parental alienation
  Passage: Parental alienation is the process, and the result, of the psychological manipulation of a child into showing unwarranted fear, disrespect or hostility towards a parent or other family members.  It is a distinctive and widespread form of psychological abuse and family violence—towards both the child and the rejected family members—that occurs almost exclusively in association with family separation or divorce (particularly where legal action is involved) and that undermines core principles of both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.  Most commonly, the primary cause is a parent wishing to exclude another parent from the life of their child, but other family members or friends, as well as professionals involved with the family (including psychologists, lawyers and judges), may contribute significantly to the process.  It often leads to the long-term, or even permanent, estrangement of a child from one parent and other family members and, as a particularly adverse childhood experience, results in significantly increased risks of both mental and physical illness for children.
  Title: Erzhu Rong
  Passage: Erzhu Rong (爾朱榮) (493 – November 1, 530), courtesy name Tianbao (天寶), formally Prince Wu of Jin (晉武王), was a general of the Chinese/Xianbei dynasty Northern Wei.  He was of Xiongnu ancestry, and after Emperor Xiaoming was killed by his mother Empress Dowager Hu in 528, Erzhu overthrew her and put Emperor Xiaozhuang on the throne, but at the same time slaughtered many imperial officials and took over most of actual power either directly or through associates.  He then contributed much to the rebuilding of the Northern Wei state, which had been rendered fractured by agrarian rebellions during Emperor Xiaoming's reign.  However, in 530, Emperor Xiaozhuang, believing that Erzhu would eventually usurp the throne, tricked Erzhu into the palace and ambushed him.  Subsequently, however, Erzhu's clan members, led by his cousin Erzhu Shilong and nephew Erzhu Zhao, defeated and killed Emperor Xiaozhuang.  He was often compared by historians to the Han Dynasty general Dong Zhuo, for his ferocity in battle and for his violence and lack of tact.

  Title: Alcoholism in family systems
  Passage: Alcoholism in family systems refers to the conditions in families that enable alcoholism, and the effects of alcoholic behavior by one or more family members on the rest of the family.  Mental health professionals are increasingly considering alcoholism and addiction as diseases that flourish in and are enabled by family systems.  Family members react to the alcoholic with particular behavioral patterns.  They may enable the addiction to continue by shielding the addict from the negative consequences of his actions.  Such behaviors are referred to as codependence.  In this way, the alcoholic is said to suffer from the disease of addiction, whereas the family members suffer from the disease of codependence.

  Title: Family secret
  Passage: A family secret is a secret kept within a family.  Most families have secrets, but the kind and importance vary.  Family secrets can be shared by the whole family, by some family members or kept by an individual member of the family.  The secret can relate to taboo topics, rule violations or just conventional secrets.  Issues like homosexuality, adultery, infidelity, divorce, mental illness; crime such as rape or murder; physical or psychological abuse, child sexual abuse; sexual violence such as marital rape or pregnancy from rape; human sexual behavior like premarital pregnancy or teenage pregnancy; substance abuse including alcoholism.  More simple secrets may be personality conflicts, death, religion, academic performance and physical health problems.  Any topic that a family member thinks may cause anxiety may become a family secret.
