Hi. So, on behalf of authors, I am going to present this paper. Mostly, I would say the paper is based on two keywords from the cryptography, nonce and fault analysis. So, they are trying to going out from the nonce barrier and introduce the fault attack when nonce becomes a countermeasure in the fault attacks. That is the overall thing. So, let us start with the nonce. So, yeah, in the sense that when Rogay defined that what is the basic principle of nonce to be used in the cryptography, it says that in every application of the crypto algorithm, the nonce would be unique. But sometimes it is with some terms and condition people, crypto theory people try to utilize it with some non-uniqueness feature for couple of times or sometimes for a chain of messages. So, that is the main thing they try to exploit in the in this area. On the other hand, fault analysis, what I understand that in a execution of the algorithm, you try to inject the fault in a particular place and then you observe the outcome after that fault injection and then analyze with the good result. That is the overall three-step of the fault analysis. So, what happens with this? Basically, if you can inject a fault in a round say n minus 1, that means you can reduce your kept analysis from a n round cypher to some n minus i round of cypher. So, basically you are reducing the number of rounds by injecting fault. That is the motivation. There are different kinds of fault attacks in the extension, but most popularly used attack is the differential fault.  So, this is like this. So, you have the message which is going to be encrypted, getting the C and as an attacker, you reapply the same message and in some round, in some place you inject some fault and then get the fault output, try to correlate the C and C star. This is the overall idea. So, that is what I already said that this basically implies that you are going to kept analyze reduced round entry cypher. So, that is the, then so once you have a nonce in the execution, that means at every execution you are changing your input value. So, that attacker cannot replay with the same input to inject the fault. That is the nonce defined. So, in presence of nonce, theoretically good nonce, your assumption violated. So, fault attack cannot work in that sense. That is the story. So, once you try to replay, you cannot replay because you have some nonce which are different in these two case. So, you cannot encrypt the same message to get some relation. Now, what we can do to go out from the nonce barrier? We can either misuse the nonce, we can bypass the nonce or we can avoid the nonce. The same authors have two different works to one, the first one they presented in Indochip 2014. They say, they basically try to misuse, try to exploit the misuse of nonce. So, the algorithm developed, there are some Ae stands for authenticated encryption. So, there are some authenticated encryption schemes where the inventors defined that you can use the nonce for a few amounts of time, say for 20 messages or 30 messages, you can use the same nonce. So, they try to exploit that misuse basically. That means for executed nonce, you are using the same nonce. That means the same fault attack can be applied there. In the nonce bypass thing, it's another, there are some type of authenticated encryption schemes which says that if your tag does not match at the end, means the ciphertext is not authenticated, means when you are decrypting, then also you can release your output, faulty output. The sense of that algorithm was basically sometimes you have a big message and when you are receiving the big message, you need to store them somewhere to authenticate it. And if you go to store the whole thing, you, a small device may not have those amount of storage to store the whole message. So, these encryption schemes allows you to release the decrypted message before authenticating it. So, they basically, in this work, they try to exploit that unauthenticated message outcome. So, during decryption, you have the nonce, but it will allow you to output the message if it is not authenticated. So, you use the same, apply the same nonce during decryption for consecutive execution and exploit that to find out the correlation. And on the third one, which is going to be present here, this is more generic. There are against some kind of authenticated encryption scheme where people defines that you have a nonce, and nonce is a part of your input message and the rest of the part is, say, a counter, which is incrementing by one by one, and that nonce part will be fixed for a big message, means the message means the whole chunk of message what is going to be encrypted and authenticated at that time. So, they basically, and also you can encrypt those, the full messages with different chunks in parallel execution. Means you have same permutation function, say, AES, you are executing AES for n different times in parallel using different counter value and the same nonce. So, they introduce how to avoid this nonce in this kind of authenticated encryption scheme. So, divide and rule. So, here is their main idea. So, instead of one fault, here they are trying to inject two faults. At the beginning, they try to inject some fault to make the input similar with the other execution. So, technically, in this algorithm, you have a fixed part and the counter value is incrementing. So, in the first place, they try to inject some fault in the counter, which is going to be incremented for every message. So, that counter will make, will basically, by fault, will make the input with some another instance of the same algorithm. And in the second place, they inject the second fault as you have in the fault, means somewhere in the round. So, here is the more idea in the pictorized. So, let's say the parallel encryptions. So, counter value AX, X plus I up to X plus n and rest of the parts of this input are same nonce, using the same nonce or some domain parameter. This part are same. So, what you can, and then, then parallel you are using the same permutation function, say, yes, or any other cyber algorithm to find out, to generate the final output. Sometimes the output can be truncated. So, what they are doing, in the first case, they are placing a fault here, injecting a fault here, means at the counter values. So, injecting this fault in this counter value means that they try to inject in a particular byte, say, so that byte transfers this whole part to some other execution of this chain. So, that they can find out the relationship between, say, this one X plus I transfers to X, that means this guy, this part and this part will be the same. The input is same. And in the second fault, they basically inject the fault here as per standard fault analysis algorithm, and then tries to relate the internal state, and finally, they get the internal differential fault analysis. That's the overall idea. So, as the case study, they pick the algorithm, which is the pick algorithm. It is a candidate in the CISAR competition in second round, but this is going to end out in third round. So, due here is nothing to say. So, main idea is this parallelizable and counter mode, what I explained before already. And then here is one story that this went out. The algorithm is no longer in the CISAR competition. Another thing, nothing to say here. So, here is overall the relationship between what I explained the parallelized encryption versus this exact algorithm. So, here all these inputs C, this counterpart is only changed from every instance. Rest of the inputs are same. N stands for non-case transpose key, some key, et cetera. D is some domain parameters. So, only this counter value are changing. And then encryption happened in the cases that basically you have the plain text extra with the part of the cipher text, part of the encrypted value, and then generated the C and the rest of the blocks will go down for the authentication part and then finally authentication tag is generated here. Here is the idea about how that epic algorithm constructed. It's basically 512 bit states. So, basically you have four AES blocks put in four parallel session and then they have 20 rounds instead of 10 rounds of AES. And every two rounds, they alter the columns in each other. So, that is basically the algorithm how it works. So, you have four AES blocks, let's say now, and after two rounds, one and two, after two rounds, these columns are suppled around others. So, that way the algorithm is defined. Here is little bit detailed about how they define the distinguisher, how they're playing the internal differential. So, as I explained, basically they're trying to inject the fault at the counter first and then try to find out that the change of that counter matches with one which particular column of this AES execution and then trying to find out the distinguisher to perform the fault analysis. So, basically equalize and differentiate what I already explained. So, basically they inject fault, equalize it J say or any other J and then trying to differentiate here. Here is more detail about that. Interested people can go and read the from the paper. So, basically here main idea is sometimes you can say that when you are injecting the fault at the first place, then how do you guarantee that the faulted input is matched with one of the other branch of that. So, they ensure that the counter is going to be changed from 1, 2 to 55. So, the main requirement of this attack is that you need to have at least a message which is 255 block of AES. So, if they inject a fault in the byte, that means that byte, faulty byte will map in one of the value from 1 to 55, what is already in the chain. So, that can be used as the fault free execution and then they will use their one as the faulty execution and then try to find out the distinct ways and co-relation. That's the story. These are much more detailed. I do not want to go. And then finally, they have shown some experimental results on a big different versions. A peak 64 indicates the 64-bit key, 80, 84-bit key and 128-bit keys. And after their analysis, they shown that if you have a 255 blocks of message encryption and you can implement this fault attack injector fault in round 17 or round 16 kind of place, then the complexity or the state space reduced from 64-bit 2 power 64 to 2 power 16.14. And in this case, 2 power 50 only. And this is estimated because this amount of round they cannot perform in their environment yet. So, that is the estimation based on these two results. Here is their experimental data, little bit more detail. So, here is the conclusion. So, overall main thing is the execution with counter-based modes where you have some nonce. Nonce plays a role to counteract against the differential fault attack. But they shown that if nonce is misused or nonce can be avoided, then counter type of execution or parallel execution are attacked by the fault analysis. Here is the author. He is unfit now. So, very enthusiastic guy, but unfortunately after getting all arrangements, he cannot make it. So, I'm going to present that. That's all. Thank you. Thank you very much.


All right, let's go over the quiz here and sir key always getting everything right so on your test I'll probably have you convert something to degrees 5 pi by 12 I'll probably keep it a little simpler than that, but let's do 5 pi by 12 5 Pi by 12 and the conversion factor is since I want degrees I want degrees on the top the pi on the bottom The pies cancel and I know that 6 goes into 180 and 12 pretty easily I know that 180 divided by 6 is 30 I know that 12 divided by 6 is 2 and then I would say hey 2 goes into 30 and 2 1 and 15 in fact this whole thing works out to 5 times 15 which I'm pretty sure is 75 degrees Number one convert or sorry number two convert 220 to radians, so it's going to be 220 times Pi over 180 it says leave your answer as an exact value in terms of pi I Would expect that it's fair game to ask you to clue in that the zeros will cancel it divide by 10 divide by 10 I would even expect mitzv that it's fair game to say divide by 2 divide by 2 So you would say this is an 11 and this is a 9 and hopefully you would get 11 pi by 9 One more Find two co-terminal angles for 11 pi by 4. Okay. I'm gonna add to pi wait a minute. That's dumb. Mr. Do it Spencer. What's my denominator here? You know what? I'm gonna add 8 pi by 4 and I'm also going to subtract 8 pi by 4 It looks like 19 pi by 4 It looks like 11 take away 8 3 pi by 4 Did anybody add another time if you add 8 pi 27 pi by 4 would work or are there any other answers out there? Nobody's had to phase shift out to the million just to annoy me We'll call that yeah, we'll leave a couple years ago did that it was funny once but now just State the principal angle well the principal angle I'll call that P of theta. I just made that up right now. I guess 3 pi by 4 That's the angle between 0 and 2 pi. That's the I sort of called it Eric the lowest terms angle number 4 curveball a little They told me a number 4 that x equals 2 That y equals negative 4. I should be able to find out what r is well R is going to be the square root of x squared plus y squared It's going to be the square root of 16 plus 4. I think r ends up being root 20 or 2 root 5 Mr. Duk would you make us to the if I gave you this it would be a multiple choice nasty question And I would probably have that in the answer so I'd expect that you clue in that when you get a root 20 You can pull out your math can and rewrite square roots in mixed form Now what well They want me to go sine theta minus secant theta sine is y over r negative 4 all over 2 root 5 minus Secant secant secant goes with cosine cosine is x over r secant is r over x to root 5 Over 2 By the way, if I'm marking this if you found r properly that gets you a half mark, but we'll keep going in there And if you wrote this that would get you a half mark How do I multiply fractions multiplying fractions Justin? That's the easy one top times top bottom times bottom How do I divide fractions almost as easy flip the second one and multiply? Adding and subtracting fractions. That's the pain common Denominator although I think what I would do I would choose to reduce these fractions first I would choose to say you know what I Got a four on top. I got a two right here. This is really negative two over root 5 minus I Got a two on top and a two on the bottom the twos would cancel root 5 Over one now if you didn't do that don't freak out. You can also reduce later. I need a common denominator Sabina what's underneath this fraction? What's underneath here? You know my common denominator is It's gonna be root 5 I'm gonna rewrite this whole thing as one big fraction Over root 5 what would I multiply a root 5 by to change it into a root 5? It's a trick question So the negative 2 just drops down like a domino and the minus sign drops down What would I multiply a 1 by to change it into a root 5 why I've multiplied by root 5 and by root 5 Multiplying also by a 1 but by a funny-looking one And on the top I would have root 5 root 5 or root 5 squared or just plain old holy smokes by In fact, I think this whole thing works out to negative 7 over root 5 Now if you've got that that gets you 3 out of 3 if you didn't see the reducing thing I think you'd have this negative 14 all over 2 root 5 I Guess I take that but let's reduce numbers by numbers roots by roots any other weird answers out there You're wondering about yes Oh, you rationalize it all clever use so you said negative 7 root 5 all over 5 I'll take that too, and I'll even smile in your direction and say oh By the way, I would also then go half mark for that half mark for that half mark for that And then one mark for the answer something like that Any other weird answers out there Should do it cuz maybe a bunch of those nine I'd consider this a curveball so there's gonna be on your multiple choice probably two or three But not 15 And then we're back into familiar territory amplitude for one mark period Two pi over three pi, which I'm pretty sure is just plain old two over three one mark Phase shift Emily is there an alarm bell? Nope, so phase shift is just five or five right a little better Vertical displacement Seven one mark each number six Describe the details of and graph this Emily is there an alarm bell? Yeah Yeah, I Need to rewrite this as Y equals negative three Coasts I need to factor out the one half minus one Well, there's gonna be a theta There's gonna be a plus What's gonna be left in the brackets when I factor out a one half? Well, mr. Dewick said that factoring is equivalent to dividing it really what's going to be there is pi over four divided by one half How do I divide by a fraction dummy So you're telling me it's really gonna be pi over four times two over one Which would give you two pi over four or low and behold just pi over two yes, it is Your amplitude is three your period is Two pi over a half. Hey, it's four pi Your phase shift is negative pi by two or pi by two left Your vertical displacement is negative one Ah, but we're not done mr. Dewick always said it was worth finding two more things It was worth taking the period and dividing it by four Which gives me a lovely pie my dots are going to be pie apart And then it was worth finding a good scale so that instead of saying my dots are pie apart I could say my dots are how many squares apart That's over one. That's over two. That's over one. You know what I think my horizontal scale Is gonna be pi by two and I'll call this two pi by two and I'll call this Eight pi by two the period is gonna be eight squares And every dot is gonna be every two squares Let's bring in my oh, what did I say I did first vertical displacement? I did first negative one amplitude three one two three Amplitude three one two three negative four Each square is going to be pi by two so I'll call this two pi by two four pi by two Six pi by two Eight pi by two. I'm really going up by pies, but I don't want to reduce why make myself do extra thinking Negative two pi by two negative four pi by two good night phase shift Okay, my first point is gonna be one square left somewhere on that line Brett what am I graphing positive sign negative sign positive coast or negative coast? A negative coast starts where you like and then every two squares one two middle One two top one two middle one two bottom one two middle I've run out of room. Hey, let's go backwards middle top Middle bottom Yes, the fun helps Now if you used a different scale mitzvah what you're really looking for is this Do you have a point that goes through? negative pi by two negative four and does your next point go through three pi by two positive two Because you could have gone with a scale of for some reason pi by fours would also work it would just mean that Every four squares would be a dot and your period will be 16 squares long and the phase shift would be two squares left, but the Coordnance would match my destiny How do I mark this so one mark one mark one mark one mark for each of those two marks for the graph What I would probably do is give you a half mark if you had the amplitude and vertical displacement, right? So half mark for the Amplitudes half marks for the vertical displacement and then one mark for getting the points right so half mark off for each point That's wrong. So give two points wrong. Sorry. The best you do is one or two Is that okay? number seven oh They double a so normally we said the range was vertical displacement and then a down and a up from there If they double it, it's gonna be vertical displacement and then two way down and two way up from there That bad boy. What's the domain of y equals tan two theta? I'm gonna ignore it for the two for a second. I know that normally tangent doesn't exist at plus or minus 90 Plus or minus pi by two. Oh normally X can't be pi over two and Pi apart normally But Brett how has this been changed? We've replaced theta with what? We've replaced theta With two theta. That's a horizontal Compression by a half. You know what? In our case now, it's gonna be pi over four plus multiples of pi over two Where n is an integer? Half mark half mark you forgot that take off a half mark. What's the domain and range of y equals four cosy kent? Hmm. Well normally normally the range was Everything bigger than or touching one Everything smaller than or touching negative one but Spencer what's right there? Vertical or horizontal? Really you think that's right next to the theta tucked inside the function. I think it's vertical Vertical what I think that's a vertical Expansion by four I Think we'll check out our graphing calculator in a second, but I'm pretty sure Domain Cosy kent goes with what cosy kent goes with what sign? so where sign theta equals zero that's where X won't exist for cosy kent where to sign theta equals zero here here here. Oh x can't be zero plus multiples of pi where n is an integer Now sandally normally we would erase the zero plus for a secant There is an actual number there and so we leave the number there I think secant starts out at pi by Two plus multiples of pi. I can't even remember. I just derive it every time One mark one mark. Let me double check. Does this work? I'm a little worried about that for cosy kent. Let's see calculator up clear How would I graph cosy kent? Oh? four divided by sine x And I'm gonna cheat. I'm gonna go zoom trig What? Window off. I'm going from negative four to positive four I probably need to go a little more than that. How about negative eight to positive eight? Hey, that looks good. Sure. I'm in Looks good So one mark one mark Give yourself a score, please out of 21 But I don't want to collect these because I won't be seeing you between now and the quiz test time will I? No So you know what? I'm just plain not gonna count this one If you did good good if you didn't then I guess that's good, but well, you'll figure it out Okay, okay, listen up for a second here I Noticed that something strange happened when I printed trig review number one for you This is what we gave you when I was away last week for some reason only every other page printed And as I was going through it I went well a lot of the weird curveball we practice questions stuff with cosy can't see can't Those seemed to be the ones that were on the pages that didn't print. So what I just gave you is actually trig review number one the second half the part that didn't show up and I'd like to recommend a few more questions wink wink nudge nudge. I like these questions. I like these questions I like these questions Okay So from the section that I just gave you six oh heck Six through nine and you'll notice seven and eight or asymptote and domain questions about ugly cousin and reciprocals 15 16 17 why don't you just say 15 through okay fine? You know what mr. Duke? 15 through 17 comma 22 through 24 31 32 34 41 42 x 41 42 43 41 through 44 51 54 59 60 62 63 70 72 77 78 79 80 85 There's a lot of them. I noticed that the section you had seemed to be missing a lot of the questions that I thought were great practice 94 96 105 112 121 122 131 132 133 And the written section that you can temporarily ignore Most of that is on trig part two. What's gonna be your written section? I already told you, but I'll say it again two graphs and Then probably four trig equations one of which will be a reciprocal one of which will be a quadratic One of which will be a weird and plus or my like alarm bell equals negative one zero or one There'll be one of the axes up to the inner circle and one of which will have a domain change I Was gonna do a lesson, but I think what I'm gonna do is just simply say hey work on this I gave you two reviews I would say Target this one right now. So what do we have grand total one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 20 5 to 6 to 7 to 8 29 30 31 32 Well lots of questions like 60 or so Started continuing to count Again Trevor use your judgment if you get like for example a whole bunch of these are Cast rule questions if you can glance at it and do it in your head Check if you're right skip that or A lot of them are exact value questions if you're doing exact values in your sleep you only do the tough ones Oh, see can't that's trickier than sign say or something like that Okay, yeah, yeah Is this do before the test? Well Sure, I guess I'll say how about of the two reviews that I gave you I would love this one here handed in the day of the test I'll give it back to you though because half the questions apply to the next part of the trig unit to So I'll get it back to you as soon as I can Any questions at all? So I normally don't press pause like this, but I thought about it over the weekend And I was boy, it's missing a lot of good questions In fact, I think there's more questions here than what I originally assigned. I'm shutting up


92% of all of the solar cells that are being manufactured now are made of crystalline silicon. Perovskites are exciting compared to conventional semiconductors used in solar cells. Perovskite refers to a certain crystal structure. Some of the great advantages of perovskites are that they are a thin film technology and can be easily printed on plastic substrates, very flexible lightweight substrates. We report the discovery of a new perovskite semiconductor with a small band gap. We were able to use it along with another perovskite that has a high band gap to make a tandem solar cell. One of these solar cells absorbs high energy photons so that's blue and green light. It uses this to generate a high voltage and then the second solar cell which has a much smaller band gap absorbs lower energy light such as the red and the infrared. When you stack these together you sum up their voltages and you can reach a higher performance than you ever can for a single solar cell so we can have that combination of low cost and highest possible performance. I'm very optimistic that we will have panels with efficiencies above 25%. We already have 20% when these materials are optimized. We're going to be able to get a world record efficiency of 30% in three to five years.


You're on you're on air. Okay, there we go Happy new year and welcome everyone to our first podcast of plot the red pill for 2022 The inevitable harm of the alienating parent Ours is podcast about truth and everything parental alienation. We are here to lift the veil My co-host Karen Belcourt and I Kim McCord have an amazing lineup of guests for you this season We begin our year with a world-renowned guest tonight The author of multiple books the most notable being malignant self-love narcissism revisited if you have ever googled the word narcissism Psychopath or dark triad you will know our guest as he has Thousands of YouTube videos online as well as millions of followers He is a professor of psychology at the Southern Federal University in Russia a Professor of both finance and psychology at the Center for international advanced and professional studies His work is cited in hundreds of books and dozens of academic papers He is known as the king of cluster B personality disorders Much of the vocabulary we use today Is Describes for example narcissistic abuse was coined by our guest He has lived a life of 10 men and this I do not exaggerate We welcome the incredibly educated larger-than-life Humorous and of course handsome Dr. Sam backman. Yes. Thank you for not forgetting handsome. I Do you think of cluster B? I am not I'll try I do my best to take it as a compliment My words I need to I need to ponder on this Okay, thank you. Thank you for a very kudzins introduction Sam we're so honored to have you here with us today And we are my hero for educating me about what I was held hostage in and How to navigate my way out so thank you Thank you. Thank you for having me. I appreciate Just let me put the recording device on so that we have a double Okay, we are set to go Should as should as they say in Israel Thank you, you know like Kim said, you know, thank you very much Thank you for the contribution that you make to the world because it really does Create a difference and it creates a world for for people who are going through this to have a place of understanding Because you know, as you know, we're in a world that is completely counterintuitive when we're dealing with relationships where works were Exposed to narcissistic abuse and We are trying to make sense of something that doesn't make sense and so much of what you Say gives us so much comfort and I know for myself, you know, you don't realize how much time you spend in my world Thank you Thank you. Thank you for this narcissistic supply and When I started my work in 1995 The main problem my face was the fact that there was no language no language to describe the experiences of victims of narcissistic abuse and the second problem I faced is that Practitioners professionals therapist psychology psychiatrists Refused to acknowledge that narcissistic abuse is not just another Garden variety of abuse not just another form of abuse But that it stands apart. It's utterly distinguished distinguishable from other types of pedestrian abuse So we have sexual abuse. We have financial abuse. We have legal abuse. We have elder elder abuse We have multiple forms of abuse People seem to Cherish the notion of abusing each other But nothing compares to narcissistic abuse. It's narcissistic abuse Is about vitiating and negating and attacking directly and modifying and taking over and assimilating your identity it's about simultaneously Attempting to disintegrate and deconstruct every dimension of your existence simultaneously and irreversibly And in this sense, narcissistic abuse definitely stands apart. It's a harrowing experience That is exceedingly difficult to communicate to other people Because when you try to communicate it to other people They keep minimizing it somehow they keep trying to translate it Into day-to-day experiences. They say, oh, well, it's like my uncle. It is, you know They try to somehow make sense of it But it's senseless. That's the problem. Narcissistic abuse is no meaning No sense. It's just there like a force of nature Okay, enough said Onto your questions Yeah, that was beautiful because that was exactly my first question to you this, you know today I was going to ask you, you know, why is narcissistic narcissistic abuse different than all other kinds of abuse? And so you answered that beautifully. Thank you so In 2011 you posted a video titled Abusive X leverages children against you Please help us understand the concepts of role reversal And how the alienating parent Coops the system and the reason the alienating parent Seeks custody of the children The narcissist I'm going to confine myself to the narcissist because that's my area of expertise Possibly the psychopath as well, but mainly the narcissist. He's not interested in the children He doesn't care about the children the children are pawns They're instrumentalities the tools He cares a lot about his ex-spouse or current spouse He cares about hurting her he cares about Modifying and controlling her behavior Is if he's a psychopathic narcissist or a psychopath then he's goal oriented. He wants to accomplish goals or aims The children are just just happen to be there But he's going to he's going to use the children and a monopoly of other tools available to him Including for example confidential information intimate information divulge During the heyday and the honeymoon phase of the relationship He's going to use your family. He's going to use your friends. He's going to use Another phrase I coined flying monkeys is going to is going to Co-opt the totality of the environment Again, he's going to turn your world against you Every element in your world The potted plant behind you is going to be used against you Everything and everyone suddenly becomes an enemy. That's a bit reminiscent of covid In during the covid pandemic friends and family had become potential sources of death They had become potential enemies You know, you had to cover yourself. You have to socially distance. You have to avoid them. You have to The same with the narcissist. He renders everything and everyone around you um a tool a menace um a figment of a horror film And so your children are just one of these elements As distinct from the typical alienating parent who is not narcissistic The narcissist uses uses children in a way that is laser guided And usually seizes and desists when the goal had been accomplished so Other abusers for example, they go they can be for obsessive compulsive They can be paranoid They can be vengeful They can be sadistic So other other abusers Have long-term agendas which essentially never stop The good news about the narcissist is that if you give him what he wants he stops The only problem is what he wants is your destruction So it's a bit of a conundrum a bit of a catch 22 what the narcissist does he Turns the children against you Which is classical parental alienation strategy or the parental alienation. I want to clarify Is not a clinically recognized syndrome. It had been rejected repeatedly By multiple committees of the diagnostic and statistical manual By all the professionals in the field. We don't teach it at university Etc. Etc. So I want these two. I want to make clear I still do believe however that they are alienating behaviors That parents do turn children against each other That this is a strategy And that this strategy is implemented incrementally and with forethought deliberately and intentionally So we might as well use the term parental alienation. Why not it has a ring to it So the narcissist alienates the children In a variety of ways Many of them indistinguishable from the classical alienate For example, he would tend to cast the the opposite parent or the spouse He would tend to cast her as a bed the secretary objects. He would say she's bad.  She's dangerous.  She's crazy She would he would devalue he would continue the process of devaluation after the discard Now that's a very novel clinical observation That it's not true that devaluation stops with the discard devaluation continues forever It continues through your children and it continues in your mind The narcissist embeds in your mind a voice And this voice continues to devalue you throughout your life It's this process is called introduction So the children are used this way. This is one technique of alienation The other technique of alienation is spying The children are asked to spy on the other parent and bring information to the narcissist The third technique is hurting the children Hurting the children in order to hurt the other parents. So for example behaving irresponsibly with the child Not catering to the child's medical needs And so on so forth and making sure the other parent knows about it And is helpless to do anything So that's very hurtful and it creates anxiety disorder and and so on The fourth the fourth technique is rendering the children flying monkeys converting the children to the cause Rendering the children worshipers of the narcissist so the narcissist becomes the good parent the fun parent Is is the parent with with whom you go on trips and you can smoke a smoke a joint And you can drink together and you know, you can do crazy things And then this is the fun parent Automatically casting the other parent As the non-fun parent the disciplinarian The harsh the tough love parents Which no child wants And then narcissists co-opt An adolescent adolescent rebellion Adolescents tend to define their identity in opposition to others and in comparison to peers So what the narcissist does he co-ops the process He acts as a peer Of the of the child. He becomes the child's best friend His peer he goes out with the child to do crazy adolescent things And so on so forth. And so the child bonds with the with the narcissistic parent on a peer level And finally the narcissist sometimes tries to Emotionally blackmail the child Into Define so the narcissist tries to force the child to become the narcissist's parent So that the child feels a responsibility a parental responsibility for the narcissist And it becomes very protective of the narcissist So then the other parent Is perceived as a threat to the narcissist And then the child is very defensive and protective of the narcissist and attacks attacks the other parent These are essentially the five techniques that narcissists use to alienate children Thank you In part two of the youtube video You just spoke about was Was entitled Tell your children the truth Sam can you please speak about why As targeted parents We think we're doing the right thing by keeping the harmful behaviors Of the alienating parent from our children It is a common and horrendous mistake reinforced by many mental health practitioners The abusers secret nuclear weapon is silence The abuser isolates you from friends and family and later on from your children And expects you to remain silent about To not launder the dirty laundry, you know in full view to not be ostentatious about your suffering He expects you to suffer silently in other words And when you do the child is denied critical information Not critical information in the sense that you're the good guy and your ex is the bad guy that that would be counter alienating That that's not a strategy I recommend But the child is denied critical information about the dangers of exceeding And colluding with a narcissist narcissist agenda And about what the narcissistic parent might do to the child would that includes definitely for example sexual abuse the When the narcissist disengages from his spouse He mentally disengages from the extensions of his spouse narcissists are incapable of perceiving children Or anyone else for that matter As separate entities They perceive them as extensions And the the children are are extensions of the other parent So when they divorce the other parent or Dump or break up with the other parent They simultaneously emotionally break up with the children And the children are perceived as extensions of the other parent To be tampered with to be modified to be worked on like raw material And then the narcissist feels that he's perfectly entitled to have sex with his children the incidents of incest After breakup Are sky-high It's because the narcissist cannot perceive the child As anything but the mothers for example extension So there's this risk the child should be educated to understand everything about setting boundaries About being firm About not being afraid To hurt the other parents emotions About spotting and detecting warning signs red flags inappropriate behaviors About reporting if necessary about Being true to a set of values and beliefs So the child needs to be alerted to the danger without vilifying the other parents of course Just telling him this that's the way it is and you know Daddy is like that and you should be like that and you should have your own Boundaries if you don't like to do something don't do it and if you feel uncomfortable walk away And stand firm and so on and so forth And Educating the child is a critical part of countering Both parental alienation and ongoing abuse via the child And regrettably the vast majority of parents don't do that and they come up with these nonsensical sentences like Yeah, but the child needs a father in his life or I don't want him to think bad badly of his father or his mother and But these are the wrong motivations because that means Sacrificing the child Sacrificing the child's welfare and well-being and mental health in in in favor of A social ideal Which is essentially honestly male chauvinistic. It's a patriarchal idea basically Like the family is a is a shared psychotic disorder. It's a unit.  It's nothing to do with the child's welfare and well-being. It's you're trying to avoid conflict You're trying to avoid conflict and you're trying to maintain appearances and you're trying to conform to societal values that most definitely Favor abusers who happen to be in the majority men Wow Sam So that is a lot to process wow Um Unfortunately, we that go through parental alienation. We do not Comprehend what is going on at the time unfortunately It takes some time to process this and but by the time we've figured out what's going on most of the time You're already alienated from your children. So the I would have loved to educate my children but I did not have the uh The experience of what I was going through at the time so I I couldn't But now as you say that that completely makes sense um Going back to what you had said a little bit earlier about the discard When the narcissist discards you the ex-spouse What happens when you the healthy minded parent or the target parent divorces or discards or abandons the narcissist first Can you tell us what happens in their brain when that happens depends If you do that in a if you do it in an amicable largely private way Just you in the narcissist The narcissist is going to go through a process known as narcissistic injury It's a challenge or the undermining of his grandiose self-perception and his grandiose self-perception is That he is irresistible That he is addictive That he will never be abandoned by you because you can't you can't live without him Because he's perfect and he is omniscient and he's omniscient. In short, he's godlike He's godlike. It's a one one man religion and you are the worshipper And it's exactly like converting from one religion to another the original religion feels betrayed so The narcissist will feel betrayed and and humiliated would immediately cast it In terms of a morality play where you are the good and you're good and he's your evil and he's good he he would try to Cast himself as a victim. He would adopt a victim who stands And he would claim to have been victimized by you all along Um using very words very similar to what you would use he would say I I wasn't aware of what she was doing She was so surreptitious and so subtle and so cunning and malevolent that I couldn't imagine that she would do this Etc. Etc. So he he reacts from narcissistic abuse with Two essentially strategy is one is to devalue you to reframe you as an evil cunning skimming person the other strategy is is Is rage narcissistic rage So we would tend to become very very aggressive Now the aggression could be sublimated in other words. He could He could use his aggression channel is aggression in socially acceptable ways Or the aggression can be overt And could escalate in extreme cases who violence And even you know killing So it's a it's a dangerous game to play with a narcissist if he's a psychopathic narcissist, which is about 3% of narcissists Then you are definitely gambling with your life They they are unforgiving they are vengeful. They're they hold long-term grudges and they do not refrain from overt violence But the majority of narcissists simply simply would be aggressive in a variety of ways if they're covert narcissists They would become passive aggressive So they would drag the divorce for 20 years. They would make your life hell They would undermine and sabotage if they have to sign something they will not sign it, etc So this is these are passive aggressive strategies um This is if you do it If you if you discard the narcissist if you divorce the narcissist privately and amicably imagine It's the that's the good. That's a good kind of outcome. Now. Let's talk about the bed outcome If you divorce the narcissist in an ostentatious public Shaming and humiliating manner For example, if you make known to his social circle admirers so-called friends family If you if you out the process if you render the process public Then the narcissist and Experiences something much deeper than injury. It's a process known as narcissistic modification And modification dismantles The narcissist defenses, especially his grandiosity And he simply goes very crazy It becomes clinically indistinguishable from a psychotic And he may do seriously crazy things This is this is a seriously dangerous situation which involves all narcissists without exception So a piece of advice I would give to people who consider Kind of dismantling the bond exiting the the inferno that is narcissistic abuse A piece of advice I would give Inform your close circle inform your social safety net inform your family and your friends Do not seek to humiliate a narcissist publicly or to shame him Or to render the whole process public affair Or to ostentatiously challenge him for example by going on social media Don't do that because you will have modified the narcissist and then he will lose control over himself And then these people are dangerous Simply and they can take it out on the on the children definitely They can hurt the children to hurt you Kid kidnap them sexually molest them Uh hurt them physically not give them medical care beat them up, you know, they can use the children to get to you if they're modified Okay Karen I'm gonna get you to take the next question because I'm so sorry. My little dog Bella is barking at me and I need to let her out Excuse me She doesn't like zoomie since So So Sam When you know, what you've said is just it just is so impactful um What What what would you say when somebody is already when they've already a narcissistic? Uh partner has been abusive like physically abusive not just You know psychologically verbally When they are physically abusive, what is that a sign? Of you know in that in the narcissistic narcissistic abuse realm Physically abusive to the spouse you mean To the spouse to the children Yes, no, there's there's a difference the etiology the psychological background To being sexually abusive to the spouse has nothing to do with the etiology of being sexually abusive to the child in other words The narcissist is sexually abusive. It's uh, physically abusive. I'm sorry to children For reasons which are entirely different to the reasons why he sexually why he's physically abusive to his intimate partner The narcissist can be physically and by the way sexually abusive to his partner for example raper um Because it's a essentially a control strategy Having escalated other strategies at his disposal for example verbal abuse Intermittent reinforcement going hot and cold um These strategies fail the partner is too autonomous too independent too free thinking Too agentic Narcissists cannot bear that because it challenges the inner the internal object that represents the partner Narcissists have abandonment anxiety. They are afraid to be abandoned Exactly like borderline So they want you to freeze They want you to freeze.  And if none of this works If none of this works They would resort to physical force as a form of intimidation and control strategy Essentially, it's a psychopathic Element or aspect of narcissism the antisocial aspect Narcissists physically and sexually abuse children for completely other reasons Which have nothing to do with the reasons to to abuse the spouse or the intimate partner They physically and sexually abuse children as a form of appropriation annexation Merging with the child fusing with the child Guaranteeing that the child will be utterly obedient subservient submissive adoring fawning and and Obsequious so the narcissist Trains house breaks the the child Trains the child to become essentially a pet An unconditionally loving and obedient pet Which then constitutes a source of narcissistic supply And we see this for example When the child is very young The narcissist is very loving Or at least imitates Loving So it's very loving is very caring is very holding is very attentive is very because The child gives him unconditional love and narcissistic supply Admires him adores him adulates him But then the child becomes an adolescent An adolescent most children tend to become adolescent So they become an adolescent Adolescents and adolescents are rebellious Adolescents are developing their own identity. They separate an individual. They become individuals They begin to criticize the narcissist They begin to disagree with the narcissist. They suddenly have their own opinions They have their own friends their own pastimes The narcissist feels neglected and abandoned by his children Because they had become independent And so it is during adolescence That narcissists begin to physically And otherwise abuse their children the most Because they're trying to re acquire the children To regain them to reclaim them to regain them And so this this dynamic is is very pernicious Because the narcissistic parent Is signaling to the child By becoming separate from me by becoming your own person by becoming an individual You're hurting me It's painful to me What you're doing So please stop growing don't grow anymore Just stop here And remain my little child Who is fawning and adulating and always loves me and there's nothing bad to say about me and always agrees with me And always adulates me because that's the way I want you for the rest of your life I don't want you to become your own person Because it hurts That's a very very toxic and poisonous message and many children Do exactly this they do just this They stop growing They stop growing to gratify The narcissistic parent This is especially true For when when we come to parentifying children children who had become parents of their own parents So some children Are identified the narcissistic parent as I said they become protective of the narcissistic parent They become like the mothers of the narcissistic parent And so these children definitely Cannot walk away because they feel they are abandoning a child So there's an inverse dynamic the narcissistic parent becomes the child And the and the child The offspring of the narcissistic parent becomes the parent And can't walk away because you you don't abandon a child So these are very sick pathological dynamics within the family system And the narcissist leverages each and every one of them gleefully willingly knowingly And if he's psychopath, he does it cunningly and deliberately and intentionally and with planning premeditated premeditated way. So And then the child is Defund is defund for life. He's scarred scarred for life this kind of child grows up with A very dysfunctional attachment style He when he teams up With an intimate partner All he knows to do is parentify. So he tries to become the intimate partner's parent Or the intimate partner's child He doesn't know better He doesn't know He can't he never became An adult in the full sense of the word. He's a simulated parent Or simulated child. He was never allowed to be a child as well. He's an extension Now the other parent is there Watching all these dynamics But the problem is The law for example law enforcement Mental health practitioners They don't recognize these dynamics You can't go to a police station and say I want to file a complaint against my husband.  They never heard of it You can't you can't Complain to a judge or to an evaluator Or to Psycho court appointed psychologists. You can't complain to them That the narcissist is subverting The child's ability to associate with his peers Because every time the child associates with his peers, he's punished One way or another passive aggressively or aggressively. You can't do that There's no way for anyone to to really Wrap his his head around this it's so People I mean even psychologists will tell you well. He's just being careful. The world is very dangerous So he's just being protective and maybe up is a bit overprotective It's impossible to communicate the reality inside the cell The bubble of narcissistic abuse and that is I think the victim's most horrendous predicament Not the abuse itself because we can withstand As human beings. We are resilient. We can withstand the most horrible circumstances We can we expect to be mistreated many of us. We believe in a hostile world essentially So That's not what breaks people what breaks people is the inability to communicate The feeling of infinite existential solitude Because no one gets what's happening to you not even people on forums of narcissistic abuse Each dysfunctional family Is is writing its own rules And these are idiosyncratic. They're unique to that family or to that Unit household they're unique each narcissist is very creative at constructing a virtual reality an alternative universe where there is inverted logic where Things which might horrify outside observers become the norm And so You start to you you start to feel yourself as a victim being co-opted into the delusion into the fantasy You start to support the fantasy you start to be very defensive and protective. So sometimes I come across victims who reject When when they're confronted with incontroversible evidence That the narcissist is doing bad things to their common children. They reject it They say well, I think you're exaggerating No, it's not that bad. It's not that bad They they defend The dysfunctional utterly sick a unit household family Against outsiders because they had been conditioned to do so by the noses Oh, yes, we can completely understand what you're saying because I've lived that So let's um, we're we'll move on to your video from 2013 which dealt with uh Your opinion that narcissistic personality disordered parents should be denied custody Uh, I believe you said such a parent should be granted supervised visitation only Does that opinion still stand in 2022 on that issue? Yes, of course it stands narcissistic personality disorder is an extremely severe mental health disorder As we would not grant visitation rights, for example to a parent with active psychosis Someone who is psychotic disorder is a strong anti psychotic medication Normally the course would not grant custody to someone like that Not even visitation We usually supervise visitation is supervised not by the other parent by supervised by court appointed, you know guardians Um Kernberg who is the forefather the grandfather of the field Kernberg was the one who suggested who had suggested first and I follow in his footsteps That narcissistic personality disorder is a form of psychosis Exactly like borderline personality disorder.    We we just deny that we want to believe In the essential goodness of mankind we deny this but Narcissist should be denied unbridled access to their children And they should most definitely be denied custody. First of all, they are not responsible for his parents They're dangerous.  I see no reason to To change that on the very contrary recent studies 2020 2021 We are beginning to realize That what we used to call overt narcissists Are actually psychopaths And so we are beginning to redefine narcissism and to say that Big number of narcissists were misdiagnosed and they're actually psychopaths And a small minority or a minority of narcissists known as covert narcissists or compensatory narcissists They are the real narcissists. They are the real narcissists But covert narcissists have their own poison They are passive-aggressive. They don't communicate openly They're underhanded The child has to guess all the time walk to walk on actions as to, you know, they have their own kind of so No, no kind of narcissists should have custody end of story. No kind of psychopaths should have custody I would go even further No one we borderline personality disorder should have custody These are dangerous mental health disorders end of story We as we would not give the child To the care of someone with psychotic disorder or schizophrenia Schizophrenia, for example paranoia, schizophrenia. We would never dream of giving a child to someone like that and yet paranoia schizophrenia psychotic disorder Is fully controllable with drugs. You take one pill a day. You're perfectly okay And yet we don't allow these people to have custody Narcissism doesn't have a pill There's no pill to cure narcissism There's no pill to reverse narcissism or ameliorate or mitigate The dysfunctional and antisocial behaviors of narcissism is also a thing We can help the psychotic. We cannot help the narcissists So I would I would say that personality disorders cluster B personality disorder are now In a category which is far more Sick and dangerous than psychotic disorders because we know how to treat psychotic disorders with very good results Unfortunately, how do you get the narcissistic or the psychopathic parent diagnosed To know and to be able to prove that that is indeed what they are. That's the problem Only through the courts, but you know It wouldn't help you much for example most courts pay very little heed or very little attention to Personality disorders is a diagnosis a diagnosis Yes, I mean if you were to come and say my husband is psychotic He's schizophrenic paranoid. He sees he sees People talking to him where they are none. He hears voices The judge would nod and say well, that's very dangerous to the child. Yeah, I'm going But if you come and say to the judge my husband is a narcissist. Well, who isn't It's like socially acceptable norm society itself is narcissistic and becoming increasingly more psychopathic It's it's becoming entrenched as a dimension of modernity to be a narcissist to be selfish to be egotistical to Consider other people as objects and instruments. There are even scholars who glorify and glamorize narcissism There are scholars serious scholars like datum like macobi who say that narcissism and psychopathy are positive evolutionary adaptations We should put them in charge. They're good leaders We should we should make them we should channel them or or render them socially useful in professions like medicine So there's a whole industry around high functioning narcissists productive narcissists in not in 2016 the prestigious british magazine new scientists Came up with july 2016 came up with a cover story parents May teach your children to be narcissists I'm kidding. You're not I remember that Yeah, but but basically the cluster B personality disorder parent is going to cause your child Inevitable harm is what you're saying. Yes That's the shortest answer you're gonna get Hey, I'm not even into a library anyone who contests this doesn't know the first thing about cluster B The the damage will be severe To all the critical dimension of social functioning and interpersonal relationships in the future And unfortunately a lot of it will be irreversible for example attachment styles Irreversible There's no way to change them once they become entrenched. So The the narcissistic parent teaches the child what we call insecure attachment style It teaches a child To avoid intimacy To suspect people To regard the world as hostile to be hyper vigilant and so on so forth The child grows up is unable to love or to have intimacy or any kind of functional relationship with another person And that regrettably is not changing. It's not it's not mutable. It cannot be changed Can't be reversed So Sam what are your recommendations for I think we I think we limited ourselves to 45 minutes. Shall we make this the last question? Yes, thank you. Thank you. Yes, please go ahead Karen. Thank you What are your recommendations for target parents? Who are desperately wanting to reconnect with their children? You know, what what do you recommend to them? patience patience There's very little you can do as long as the child is exposed to the other parents. The poisoning process will continue The inoculation against you will continue And there's very little you can do about it and you will not get any support from institutions If you become too adamant and insistent you will not even get support from friends and family They'll give up on you. They will think you're obsessed and crazy They will begin to believe the narcissist over you So The only thing In my view at least Although online you can find strategies for coping with parental alienation. Many of them by the way counterproductive, but The only thing in my view Is to show To demonstrate to the child That the narcissistic parent is not the only kind of parents around that there is an alternative That narcissists are not the only type of person You that the child must have must be exposed to a healthy alternative of parenting And then in due time the child makes a choice when he grows up becomes a adolescent let alone adult The child makes a choice If the child is exposed to a narcissistic parent And to a healthy parent In the vast majority of cases Around the age of 18 to 21 the child chooses the healthy parent In the vast majority If however You allow the narcissists to convert you into a narcissist To render you manipulative To force you to adopt underhanded tactics To collude in this He said she said Narratives and behavior patterns If you in other words get infected with narcissism Then the child has has to choose between two narcissistic parents And that's a bad choice You need to stay centered Boundary Focused you need to adhere to your values and respect yourself And you need to act with dignity And you need to foster in the child the realization that Yeah, you can be like for example daddy But you can also be like me And now you choose it also shows the child it also Respects the child's it's a way of respecting the child Not forcing on the child or imposing on the child any any model of personhood But giving the child a menu to choose from and the good news is the overwhelming vast majority of children when they grow up They understand what had happened And they usually choose the right side So you're saying the child is on their own journey to figure this out Yes All children are on their own journey to figure this out Even with two healthy parents Even with the parents are totally healthy.  It's a parental delusion. It's very comforting and so children experiment And many of their experiments are exceedingly dangerous and risky And many of their experiments Are going to end up in a lot of pain and hurt sexual experiments social experiments Romantic experiment Children have to endure life You can't protect your child and if you do you're a bad parent The main role of a good parent Is to push the child away Not to embrace the child but to push the child away.  Actually she encourages me to do this Separation individuation comes in two ways when the child is 18 months to two years And when the child is another lesson And many parents fail In these two phases. They don't know the art of separation They're too protective.   Thank you very much.
