“NPEIV envisions a world free of all forms of interpersonal violence.” Hmm… Let’s Look Into That… [March 3, 2022].
NPEIV stands for “National Partnership to End Interpersonal Violence Across the Lifespan.”
NPEIV = IVAT = FVSAI, Inc. at Alliant International University (basically), ℅ Robert Geffner, Ph.D.
If you search IVAT on this blog, you’ll find plenty, because so many “FamilyCourtReformists” (my new term) have been involved over time.
NPEIV claims IVAT (Institute on Violence Abuse and Trauma), a dba of FVSAI (Family Violence and Sexual Assault Institute), an IRS Tax-exempt 501©3 corporation legal domicile Texas but “entity address San Diego, California, as its (NPEIV’s) fiscal agent, according to NPEIV.org, if you squint, and know to look at the Donate” pages in hope to find whether a website reflects an entity or not, and if so, which one.
(per the IRS): Family Violence And Sexual Assault Institute *
EIN: 75-2401334 | San Diego, California
FVSAI stated tax-exempt purpose, as of FY2019 tax return:
Addresses the need for an international training, resources, and professional service center that focuses directly and specifically on the issues of family violence, sexual assault and child maltreatment issues.
Hmm… Should such a center responsibly identify itself, post audited financial statements, and be held to some standards of honesty and transparency to the public of the country where it operates?
[*Link to its latest IRS return, which reads “website “N/A” and “Legal Domicile: CA” (both seem to be false, according to California records and the existence of websites for both its dba IVAT and for NPEIV.. Makes you wonder what else might be falsely reported…] A few observations on the tax return at bottom of this post Only relevant to people who have some basis of comparison, i.e., may be reading other tax returns also… Although we all ought to especially for organizations claiming national and international influence on how people in authority respond to such topics. ..]

“NPEIV envisions a world free of all forms of interpersonal violence.” Hmm… Let’s Look Into That… [March 3, 2022].. (short-link ends “-dNd)
I took it from:
‘High-Conflict’ Court-Ordered Parenting Classes and Certified High-Conflict Divorce Coaching USA is Now on Steroids. Yet USA FamilyCourtReform* Collaborators Using This Jargon still expect to be taken seriously (and are, for example, by at least one UK/Europe-focused journal). [Begun Feb. 16, 2022, Publ. March 1]” (short-link ends “-dEA” and remember that’s case-sensitive after the “wp.me/)
This post:
- Is about 3,000 words long only. [And one day later, now 5,500, most additions at the bottom]
- Was put together within two days and is informal.
- Is being posted as is to meet a deadline related to the closing of a coffee shop where I often write, and for my own conscience — not yours!
- Ends abruptly, with a link back to its originating post at the bottom.
I don’t even care that it could do more. I’m putting out these points of reference, and want them out now. If you want a more polished version, start using that “Donate” button and find some others who might do likewise. Otherwise, don’t complain!
Before moving this material, I left a narrative summary (of the history of Alliant International University, mostly) there as a footprint. That narrative puts a timeline to the quotes here; together both versions should be useful.
It belongs there, but one post can only hold so much.
This is a (repeat, somewhat updated) introduction — or reminder — to who you’re dealing with and hearing from when someone references a journal run by the same guy who set up shop at (what is now) Alliant International University — and what that is, too.
This situation and many of its players has been on my radar for about a decade (if you count some time in 2012 to 2022 as it starts here… I have posted often on parts of it, and re-published, reminded people as I can. I have to ask — and often ask myself– what kind of people would participate?
And, given who has been participating and citing to such rhetoric (it’s propaganda, basically), why should we give them the time of day, or free (or even paid-for) help promoting it?
Does no one recognize what a Ponzi or pyramid scheme, or extreme layers of avoidance look like?
Or how religious evangelism works and looks, when it comes to propagation and “to hell with the financial consequences” on others, globally? I’m not saying that NPEIV, IVAT, FVSAI, or even the leadership of Alliant now, are religious.
But I do notice that its own history has taken both money and bought/sold campuses with religious resources (as to Alliant) and it’s churning out psychologists among whom are plenty who are in the business of marriage/family therapy for evangelistic reasons and using similar tactics. Let’s not forget that SoCal (San Diego being pretty far south on that map) is also famous for Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, and from those roots, Casey Gwinn/Gael Strack’s multiple persona, ever-changing entity name (and fact, some similarity in its name), ALSO San Diego-based ‘Alliance for Hope International”
And this tendency isn’t limited to Christian (fundamental or conservative Protestant) world visions only; there’s also a prospering and prosperous “new-age” segment too, flocking to the family justice, family courts, and protect vulnerable children themes — and fields of practice.
However THIS post is about NPEIV et al. It’s for me a review; I was going through the family court systems and, simply paying attention, already did some background look-ups on the acronyms, personalities, and the history of this university at the time. It’s good to be aware of!
Let’s not forget “NPEIV” when we read from this source:
[TandFonline.com Journal of Child Custody, or as it’s now called “Journal of Family Trauma, Child Custody, and Child Development”]
If you read my March 1, 2022, post in its first, or evolving version, this section relates to the family courts on many levels.
The acronym “NPEIV” is in circulation as in IVAT as is FVSAI (less so, as that actually refers to an identifiable nonprofit which might induce the reader to find and read its tax returns and, seeing how small and how few people are involved, compared to the global claims, visions and especially board of directors with major ties to “family court reformists” with their own global vision we’re supposed to continue telling our own legislators to keep funding (through VAWA re-authorization with “tweaks,” in 2022).. start asking more questions of those who subscribe to this set-up by continuing to reference it, each other, and their articles in a journal published (publication ownership home is the UK, not the USA) with an editor-in-chief who would set up home in such a place…

Caught! Chronically Usurping Communication btw. Government and the Governed, Pushing Back Legal Boundaries Set by Subject Matter and Geopolitical (State and National Borders), Undermining, basically, The USA [Published Sept. 16, 2019] (“-b4j”, about 8,600 words with footnotes). [Over one dozen tags, only added Oct. 2. This post covers key important basics influencing family courts’ purposes & principles]
(Top part — discussion. Mostly prose, my writing. If you want the individual professors’ organizations’ or advocates’ names, more pictures, and links, scroll down! Based on the original word count above, I added about 2,200 words, including those long titles to connecting posts, so that’s not too far. Tags for this post are shown on the previous (“Builders”) one. Publishing as-is, without extensive copyediting and without apology. . //LGH Sept. 16.)
This post continues from the bottom of:
For the immediate context of that discussion, go to the very bottom of that post, which has a link to here. Handling the Blueprints/Builders topic above brought up the topics, and specific university centers, psychologists, and nonprofit government-advising institutions (i.e., Brookings Institution, in the USA) engaged in facilitating the usurpation. I’d also brought up (quoted) an article on the “Transnational Ruling Class, … or Anglo-American Establishment” referring to the historic close, friendly, relations between the RIIA (London) and the CFR (USA). I searched those two terms as symbolic of the ongoing, functional undermining/ bypassing of local (i.e., within national boundaries) representative government in “developed” countries. There’s a direct connection to the family law practices through, Tavistock Relationships (<~~that Wiki, while flagged, is still informative in this context), formerly Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships, but also through historic development of the “psych” fields in Europe, what’s now the UK, Canada, the USA and globally. Particularly psychoanalysis (Freud & following) traditions are troubling when entrenched in government practices.
There, I had referenced and quoted:
This undermining of jurisdiction and the effectiveness of geopolitical (national, and within the USA, state, borders) process through perpetually-created crises has been taking place for at least a century, (For example, on the RIIA-CFR topic: Think Tanks and Power in Foreign Policy pp 189-214,CFR-RIIA Interconnections: A Transnational Ruling Class, Liberal Atlantic Community or Anglo-American Establishment? by Inderjeet Parmar, (“Chatham House” referring to the RIIA factor).
My post title here is generic but the original, specific details on this post cover common recent themes and situations in my blogging. If I were to list them, I’d say: “Psychologists and other Patriarchs, and their habitat: university centers” and then simply name specific ones, calling attention to in which countries they were, the specific (i.e., Michael Lamb, Nicholas J. Cummings, Milton H. Erikson) professionals’ spheres of current and recent operation (also relevant here) and who mentored them, and how (Byron R. McCandless, Frieda Fromm Reichman) — which was the “new to me” part of this post, meaning, it’s not just a re-hash of material I’ve already said, posted, or otherwise covered. There is much review, but it’s not just review!
Also, who mentored those mentors, for example, such as Kurt Lewin, at the Iowa Child Welfare Research Station (1933-1945) he ran after emigration from Nazi Germany, and how it influenced funding and directions in American psychology. I’ve also included reminders about what scope of studies are involved in the Princeton-Brookings-Columbia (and now University of Cambridge) connections, as well as the patriarchy behind “Fragile Families” research, ongoing… Just look for the more colorful parts of this post….
FYI: To think you can handle the women’s rights or “domestic (or family) violence (or abuse) prevention” field as somehow separate from all that is mistaken. They are two arms off the same tree trunk. and tap root. The important thing (in my opinion) is locating the root system, its nutrients, and in which direction its growing. Both arms off the same trunk want to treat and train as many people as possible, coordinate and saturate government with their knowledge, and, to the extent possible depending on just how gullible or vulnerable the public is, pretend the other arm doesn’t exist. In addition, they want to get to ALL children as they are being born for proper rearing, and are using “violence prevention” or, alternately, “fatherhood promotion” or “evidence-based child development” (etc.) rationale for doing this.
(Example: Harvard Center on the Developing Child and its extended reach/special sponsors, involvement of “The Frameworks Institute” and so forth). The tangled mixture of participants, if laid out side by side and sorted into their respective categories, including “unidentified” then laid onto a chronology (identified date of origin) would be, I suppose, like a combination of the finds from an archeological/anthropological dig. Except that it’s recent, and the artifacts are being created at the speed of: collaboration, electronic transmission of data, and travel expenses for personal conferences, website expenses for webinars, most of it written off as exercised in some nonprofit format.
I’ve DONE some digs like that on this blog (check out a few posts from April, 2017 on a center at Brown University involving the Annenberg Foundation: yegads!), with the results being characterized — properly — as “dense walls of text.” One recurring challenge — I’m intent to use vocabulary which categorizes according to public or private sector, entity or non-entity (which most centers within universities are), whether tax-exempt or not, and who is in which legal domicile — while the power-players and their hired/sponsored professionals in same sectors (both public AND private!) seek to do, and successfully do the exact opposite — blurred, meldedpersona… and they hire consultants to coach them how to do this! The public, thus the more confused it is (we are) the less able they are to resist sales tactics or manipulations into, if nothing else, ongoing passive consent. This is so much! like the tactics abusers also use on their targets.
I am also Tweeting on this, as it comes up (i.e., most days) along similar lines though of course mostly focused on this subject matter.
IF neither the UK and Canada has, as the USA does (however effective is another question, but we do have) any requirement to disclose their respective charities’ (tax-exempt entities’) tax returns — NOT the same as financial statements, audited or otherwise — that the public, theoretically, anyone with [un-censored by their own government] access to the internet regardless of national origin (it’s on the internet, in other words) could look up and look at, and learn from over time (and specifically as to individual tax-exempt entities which are required to file) then it’s quite possible this might only be dismantled and comprehended from the USA point of view.
Some organizations post “available upon request” or “available for inspection at our offices” but that’s impractical for any overview and financially burdensome to the person seeking it. Some organizations do seem “open and transparent” by posting theirs, but on closer look many are partial, many are not even close to the most recent tax year’s (or the year’s before) and many when it comes to tax returns, may have related entities — with money moving between them — but only post one of the entities’ 990s. There seem to be dozens, if not hundreds, of ways to put off the interested member of the public from getting to the truth of their fiscal operations or even status.
Unless there is some parallel in other countries for developing an understanding and perspective of how their own government revenues are collected, disbursed, and most important — accounted for (invested). (See “Walter Burien” (currently out of Arizona) for more and concise summaries of this type of information on CAFRs, he says, reporting on it since 1989. He has a mailing list and while emails are rare (i.e., your inbox won’t be cluttered with solicitations), when they come they are very effective communication).
