Finally, our first issue ends with an empirical report examining the construct validity of a Spanish translation of the Baker Strategies Questionnaire (BSQ) which seeks to retrospectively assess parental alienation and parental alienation behaviors.

Super cool visualization of the very different configurations of living arrangements of single men and women in midlife.

Key takeaway: Majority of single women are living with kids; majority of single men are not.
