Practitioners — New Zealand — Therapists¶
Jurisdictional context¶
New Zealand's PA-clinical landscape is structured by the Care of Children Act 2004 (s.133 specialist psychological reports on a child; s.46G post-proceedings counselling — the section under which alienation-aware therapy is most commonly court-ordered) and the Family Court Act 1980, with the 2019 Te Korowai Ture-a-Whanau independent review reorienting the Family Court toward a child-centred / safety-primary line that functions as NZ's doctrinal analogue to Australia's Family Law Amendment Schedule 2 (2023) reforms. Specialist Report Writers operate under a Joint Practice Note (2018) settled by the Principal Family Court Judge, Ministry of Justice, NZLS Family Law Section, NZ Psychologists Board, NZ Psychological Society and NZCCP. The statutory regulator is the NZ Psychologists Board (Te Poari Kaimatai Hinengaro o Aotearoa) under HPCAA 2003; counsellors are not under HPCAA but self-regulate via NZAC; psychotherapists are regulated by PBANZ with APANZ as the professional body; social workers via SWRB. The most active recognition-camp clinical practice is the Goldson Family Matters Centre (Jill Goldson, Auckland) — the Goldson Model has been adopted by the NZ government for child-inclusive mediation in the 'Bridging the Gap' programme.
The institutionally-weighted critique base is anchored by the NZ Family Violence Death Review Committee (FVDRC), the Backbone Collective (independent DV-survivor watchdog whose 2017 'All Eyes on the Family Court' and survey-based reports are the load-bearing critique-camp evidence on how NZ Family Court psychologists actually engage with PA claims), and academic work by Carrie Leonetti (Associate Professor, University of Auckland Law School), Vivienne Elizabeth, Janet Fanslow, Pauline Gulliver, Denise Wilson and Nicola Atwool. Dr Sarah Calvert (Chair, Northern Region Specialist Report Writers; Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care expert witness) is the institutionally-weighted practising-clinical-psychologist critique voice. No NZ appellate-level Re Y [2026] EWFC 38 equivalent yet restricts unregulated PA experts; standards-of-evidence concerns sit at the Practice Note / NZPB regulatory layer.
Structural findings¶
- New Zealand is critique-camp-dominant in published volume on PA practice — the critique side carries the academic-empirical literature (Leonetti, Elizabeth, Fanslow, Gulliver, Wilson, Atwool), the institutional anchor (FVDRC; Backbone Collective; Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care), and the practising-clinical-psychologist voice (Calvert as Chair of the Northern Region Specialist Report Writers).
- Carrie Leonetti (Associate Professor, University of Auckland Law School) is THE NZ heaviest hitter on the critique side: author of Leonetti (2023) 'Combatting a Dangerous American Export: The Need for Professional Regulation of Psychologists in the New Zealand Family Court' (UCLA Pacific Basin Law Journal), multiple subsequent law-journal articles, the Oxford International Journal of Law Policy and Family (IJLPF) 2025 piece, and Stuff / University of Auckland op-eds. Her published volume on PA-in-NZ-Family-Court materially exceeds any individual NZ recognition-camp voice.
- The Goldson Model (Jill Goldson, Family Matters Centre) has been adopted by the NZ government for child-inclusive mediation in the 'Bridging the Gap' online programme — making NZ unusual in having a government-adopted recognition-camp methodological framework, even as the academic-empirical literature runs critique-dominant.
- The Backbone Collective's survey-based finding (2017 'All Eyes on the Family Court') that 'psychologists were the group of professionals in the Family Court most likely to accuse a mother of being a parental alienator when she raised safety concerns for her children' is the single load-bearing data point any NZ engagement with Family Court therapist practice has to address — and the most-cited NZ critique-camp empirical reference in international literature.
- Te Korowai Ture-a-Whanau 2019 reform = NZ's doctrinal analogue to Australia's 2023 FLA Schedule 2 amendments: both reorient post-separation family-court adjudication toward a child-centred / safety-primary line, with implications for the standard of evidence required to ground PA-as-named-finding recommendations.
- Dr Arnold Staite (38 years of NZ Family Court custody-evaluation practice, Northern Region) is the longest-serving named NZ Family Court psychologist publicly speaking on PA-claims practice — the recognition-camp practitioner whose court-appointment record makes him the natural counterpoint to the academic critique line.
- Dr Sarah Calvert (Chair, Northern Region Specialist Report Writers; Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care expert witness) is the most institutionally-weighted NZ Family Court clinical psychologist on the critique side — the practising-psychologist voice the recognition camp has to engage on any s.133 debate.
- Cross-jurisdictional pointers: NZ recognition-camp pedagogy runs through Karen Woodall (UK Family Separation Clinic, who trained Jill Goldson 2018), and ANZ-region institutional reach runs through Yvonne Moriarty / Stan Korosi (Australia, PAANZ co-founders). PAANZ is Australia-based — no NZ-resident PAANZ executive on public record.
- NZ has no individual recognition-camp university-clinic anchor on the scale of Germany's PETRA / Rucker; recognition-camp clinical practice is concentrated in the Goldson Family Matters Centre (counsellor/mediator scope, not s.133 specialist report writer scope).
Recognition camp¶
Jill Goldson, MA (Hons), CQSW¶
MA (Hons); CQSW; post-graduate qualification in Parental Alienation Studies (Institute of Family Therapy, Malta 2022); Resolution Institute Fellow; AMINZ Associate; Ministry of Justice approved Family Dispute Resolution provider; PASG member Auckland · Auckland · Director, The Family Matters Centre, Auckland; private mediation and counselling practice
Stance: Single highest-profile NZ recognition-camp clinician. The Goldson Model (child-inclusive separation mediation framework) has been adopted by the NZ government for the 'Bridging the Gap' online child-inclusive mediation programme — making this the only NZ recognition-camp methodological framework with government-adopted status. Self-described work focus: 'I help separated parents and the professionals who work with them, to understand the benefits of child inclusive mediation and how to manage issues of parental alienation' (jillgoldson.co.nz). Family Matters Centre PA page differentiates conflict-reaction, justified rejection and true PA. Trained 2018 with Karen Woodall at the Family Separation Clinic London; post-graduate qualification in Parental Alienation Studies, Institute of Family Therapy (Malta) 2022. Not NZ Psychologists Board-registered — counsellor / social-work / mediator scope under NZAC + MOJ FDR regulatory footing, not s.133 specialist report writer.

Dr Arnold Staite, PsyD¶
PsyD (per APSAC bio); NZ Psychologists Board registered psychologist; APSAC member; 38 years of NZ Family Court custody-evaluation practice Northern Region (specific city not publicly confirmed) · Northern Region · Independent licensed psychologist; long-serving NZ Family Court s.133 Specialist Report Writer (Northern Region)
Stance: Longest-serving named NZ Family Court psychologist publicly speaking on PA-claims practice. APSAC member bio frames him as offering 'observations of the problems with Parental Alienation ideology and its current status in the family courts of New Zealand' — a recognition-with-reservation positioning best read as the senior practising-psychologist voice working inside the s.133 system. APSAC video 'Update on the Status of Parental Alienation Claims in New Zealand Family Law Courts' is the canonical public statement. Referenced in Leonetti (2023) UCLA Pacific Basin Law Journal as one case example of NZ Psychologists Board regulatory engagement with a Family Court psychologist (the underlying NZPB decision PDF is not publicly confirmed at this distance — retrieve before relying on for any specific factual claim).

Critique camp¶
Associate Professor Carrie Leonetti, JD¶
Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Auckland (Waipapa Taumata Rau); JD; specialist in forensic evidence, child witnesses, and family-court regulatory critique Auckland · Auckland · University of Auckland Law School (Faculty of Law)
Stance: THE NZ heaviest hitter on the critique side by published volume. Leonetti's 2023 UCLA Pacific Basin Law Journal article 'Combatting a Dangerous American Export: The Need for Professional Regulation of Psychologists in the New Zealand Family Court' is the single most-cited NZ academic critique-camp publication targeting NZ Family Court psychologists' use of PA-framings and the inadequacy of NZ Psychologists Board competence regulation in this domain. Subsequent law-journal articles plus the Oxford International Journal of Law Policy and the Family (IJLPF) 2025 piece extend the regulatory-critique argument. Stuff and University of Auckland op-eds carry the public-facing version of the same analysis. Position is critique-camp via published-record regulatory critique of NZ Family Court psychology; argues for stronger NZPB competence regulation of forensic / PA-claim psychology practice.

Dr Sarah Calvert¶
Registered Clinical Psychologist (NZ Psychologists Board); Fellow NZ Psychological Society (NZPsS); member NZ College of Clinical Psychologists (NZCCP); 2018 University of Waikato Distinguished Alumni Award Auckland · Northern Region · Independent clinical psychologist; Chair, Northern Region Specialist Report Writers group; Family Court s.133 specialist report writer; expert witness Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care (Aotearoa NZ)
Stance: Single most institutionally-weighted NZ Family Court clinical psychologist on the critique side — Chair of Northern Region Specialist Report Writers AND Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care expert witness, which makes her the practising-psychologist voice the recognition camp has to engage on any s.133 debate. Royal Commission expert-witness role (foster-care hearing statement) frames assessment in attachment-and-trauma terms; Vine / LiveNews 12 Nov 2025 'Specialist says Family Court needs to be screened for violence' carries the family-violence-screening line; RNZ Morning Report 17 Oct 2016 interview discusses the difficulties of Family Court psychological-report practice. PA-specific position statement not in a single canonical publication — assignment to 'critique' rests on (a) Royal Commission attachment-and-trauma framing, (b) the 2025 family-violence-screening line, and (c) institutional position as Chair of Northern Region Specialist Report Writers (the cohort Leonetti 2023 UCLA PBLJ targets for stronger regulation).

Atwool (2019) 'Challenges of Operationalizing Trauma-Informed Practice in Child Protection Services in NZ' Child & Family Social Work; RNZ 'CYF private sector moves worry social work expert'; Newsroom uplift investigations; quoted on the risk of 'further alienation of Maori children from their whanau, hapu, and iwi connections'. PA-specific position statement not on public record — 'critique' rests on structural attachment-trauma framing of child-removal harm. Stance-source upgrade flagged.

Notes: Stance category 'critique' but flag for stance-source upgrade — Atwool has no single PA-specific publication on the public record. SWRB-register clinical practice combined with academic-policy voice is the structural counter to PA-reversal-of-care recommendations.

Statutory regulator under HPCAA 2003 (Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act) National (NZ) · National · Statutory regulator (HPCAA 2003); joint signatory to NZ Family Court Specialist Report Writers Practice Note
Stance: Statutory regulator under which every NZ Family Court psychologist sits — the body Leonetti (2023) UCLA Pacific Basin Law Journal and the critique camp are pushing for stronger PA-specific competence regulation, and the body before which Staite-style complaint history (per Leonetti 2023) was tested. Statutory functions under HPCAA 2003; Family Court Practice Note co-signature; critique-camp argument that NZPB is failing to regulate forensic / PA-claim psychology practice. Institutional regulator; outreach is regulatory not clinical.

The Backbone Collective¶
Independent NZ DV-survivor response-system watchdog (founded 2017). Co-founders: Deborah Mackenzie MA(Hons), Ruth Herbert, Dr Tania Domett. National (NZ) · National · Independent DV-survivor watchdog; Family Court Rewrite submission author; submitter to Te Korowai Ture-a-Whanau 2018-2019 reform panel; UN HRC referral source
Stance: Single most-cited NZ critique-camp organisation in mainstream press and academic literature on therapists' conduct in NZ Family Court. The 'All Eyes' April 2017 survey-based finding — 'psychologists were the group of professionals in the Family Court most likely to accuse a mother of being a parental alienator when she raised safety concerns for her children' — is the load-bearing critique-camp empirical evidence on how NZ Family Court psychologists actually engage with PA claims, and the load-bearing data point any AntiAlienate engagement with NZ Family Court therapist practice has to address. Subsequent reports ('Out of the Frying Pan And Into The Fire' 2017), 2018 blog 'WHY DOES NZ LAW SCHOOL SUPPORT A DISCREDITED THEORY', Family Court Rewrite submission, and Te Korowai Ture-a-Whanau submission extend the regulatory-critique base. Calls for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Family Court (per UN HRC referral). Co-founders are advocacy / research / policy professionals — not registered clinicians; listed in therapists directory because Backbone's survey data is the critique-camp empirical evidence on NZ psychologist conduct.

Cross-jurisdictional pointers¶
Yvonne Moriarty (cross-jurisdictional — Australia)¶
ACA / PACFA Australia; not NZ Psychologists Board-registered; not NZ-resident Australia · Australia (cross-jurisdictional) · Principal Therapist, MindWise Counselling & Psychotherapy (Australia-based); Co-Founder & Director, Parental Alienation Australia and New Zealand (PAANZ Pty Ltd, since November 2012)
Stance: Cross-jurisdictional reference because PAANZ is the only ANZ-region peak body explicitly named 'Parental Alienation Australia and New Zealand'. No separate NZ-resident PAANZ executive on public record — Australian-resident detail belongs in practitioners-au-therapists. PAANZ co-founder (with Stan Korosi). ACA 2019 speaker bio frames PAANZ as 'peak body and reference point in Australia and New Zealand' and 'dedicated to the provision of assistance to parents experiencing the effects of Parental Alienation'. Listed here so the NZ directory acknowledges the ANZ-named institution without duplicating Australian-resident detail. Underlying camp orientation is recognition.
