Correction: Incorrect Photo Used
In our coverage of the Catherine Kassenoff case, the name Dr. Susan Adler appears.
Dr. Susan Adler was one of the therapists for the Kassenoff children. Catherine sued Dr. Adler, a lawsuit that did not come to resolution and may terminate because of Catherine’s presumptive death.
It turns out there are two Dr. Susan Adlers in the New York area. Dr. Susan S. Adler and Dr. Susan Kavaler-Adler.
Frank Report regrettably used an incorrect photo of Dr. Susan Adler in several articles. The photo has been removed and replaced with the correct photo of the Dr. Susan Adler who was involved in the Kassenoff case.
In our numerous reports, we mentioned the name Dr. Susan Adler dozens of times. Unfortunately, on two occasions, we also used the incorrect name (Dr. Susan Kavaler-Adler), potentially leading readers to confuse the two Dr. Susan Adlers.
We apologize for this oversight and any confusion it may have caused to our readers, and especially to the wrong Dr. Adler.
The articles were otherwise accurately reported and provided relevant information.
The correct photo for Dr. Susan Adler is:
The correct Dr. Susan Adler is the woman above. She is a therapist in Westchester, NY.
The wrong Dr. Susan Adler (who is actually Dr. Susan Kavaler-Adler) – the one with no connection to Catherine Kassenoff’s case and whose photo we mistakenly published and removed – is below.
It seems some of Catherine’s supporters disparaged the wrong Dr. Adler on Google reviews and Facebook, and may have contacted her directly.
If anyone who reads this posted a negative review of Dr. Susan Kavaler-Adler because of our photo, or for mistakenly believing she was involved in the Kassenoff case, please take it down, and/or any other negative public remarks.
The wrong Dr. Adler received many “vicious and hostile attacks” by “email, phone and over 13 horrible Google reviews spoiling my appearance on Google.”
Frank Report regrets the mistake and will endeavor to be more careful in the future.

“The children were seeing Dr. Janessa Cavallo, who diagnosed them with troubling disorders related to the abuse they said they suffered from their father. After this diagnosis, the guardian ad litem, Carol Most, who is supposed to be an advocate for the children, accused Kassenoff of “brainwashing” the therapist and removed the children from Dr. Cavallo’s care. It was then that Most had the court appoint her favored therapist, Dr. Susan Adler. Kassenoff says Most has admitted to having a personal relationship with Adler and her husband, who is also a matrimonial attorney. Most refused to respond to inquiries. “I cannot comment on this matter,” she told PJ Media.
The lawsuit alleges that Adler severed the bond between mother and children using unproven and unscientific theories.“

Might want to fact check “ Dr. Janessa Cavallo.” The only person I see isn’t any type of “ doctor.” I only see a licensed counselor. Always good journalistic practice to fact check.
A counselor input can sometimes be more valuable than a doctors. Cause these so called doctors on family law case are making a mess
Possibly. Fact checking the credentials of people cited is minimal standard for a journalist and should be done.
This is exactly what happens! When the counselor and therapist out side the court don’t agree and run the agenda. The GaL insists on the appointment of a surtin psychologist. Both the GaL and court appointed psychologist were AFCC. In my case. Forced reunification therapy. The minor was 16 year old when the divorce was filled. They told me she had absolutely no choice. The GaL and psychologist were both in business together prior to the case in a divorce mediation firm. Everything and anything is labeled parental alienation.. I’ve spoken to another Mom who now has the same gal. She told me the GaL is insisting on the children are not allowed to be treated by anyone other than the court appointed psychologist (reunification) . Countless cases of alienation theme. No real counseling to address any issues. Blaming mother and in some cases the father for all the problems. Blamed for not shielding the child from the actions of the other parent. The inability to control what other people and children were reporting about the Dad. Directly to the child. Like they have any control over it. GaL attorneys stay out of the mental health profession. Baised on my personal experience the psychologist also behave in a manner towards the targeted accused of alienation that gives the illusion that the parent accused of alienation is bad. Thank god my child was old enough to know what abuse is. She had a few years of counseling for someone outside the court house. They went up to bat for her. Probably why the gal now getting the court to not allow another set of eyes on her faduciary responsibilities. Judges in Connecticut clean up your courts.
Dam Halloween came too early for Adler. I bet her parents tied pork chops around her neck so the dogs would play with her.
“Her broomstick runs on the souls of children.”
Great quote!!!
Wow. “Regrets” the mistake? At least tabloids pretend to fact check. Dr. Susan KAVALER Adler was my own therapist (in the same building where some of the Ramones lived, by happenstance) many years ago. She is a brilliant practitioner with an impeccable career as psychoanalyst and author who would never involve herself with this ugly narcissist-fest. There was no question in my mind that Dr. Kavaler would never say or do the hideous things that have been attributed to her and she deserves more than this gossip-monger’s “regrets.”
She’s getting free publicity and should send a thank you card to Frank Report
That’s a great point. Brilliant practitioners with impeccable careers as psychoanalysts and authors usually don’t involve themselves in “ugly narcissist-fests”. Will a few brilliant practitioners and lawyers help reform family courts?
What kinds of psychoanalysts and lawyers involve themselves in the worst “family court” cases? All kinds of data are collected now. Data collected from each family court case in each county and state would predict outcomes based on protocols, practices and philosophies.
Has anyone collected data to map “family court” outcomes? If not, why not?
The following key words and phrases can be added to the searches:
“individuals with substantial assets”
“divorce, alimony, child support, property division, child custody and relocation cases”
“assets or business interests in other states or countries”
That’s a very good question. The system doesn’t seem motivated to improve but why not collect the data and make use of it? It could be a good dissertation.
11:24 pm,
The system doesn’t seem motivated to improve. It doesn’t seem able to improve.
What kinds of systems aren’t motivated and able to improve? 🤔
Is it that family court systems can improve yet don’t improve for very specific reasons?
Good grief
People you can not solve the system problems by making your self look crazy. Educate yourself and complain about the laws and procedures. I can understand anger and frustration. Do feed into the crazy we are being portrayed as. We need to protest and education. We have an outlet to get the information out. Don’t mess it up by looking crazy and delusional. We need to get the information out in way we can be taken seriously.
It’s been forty years of these family court nightmare cases. Literally forty years.
What else besides crazy photos can break it all wide open after forty years of such blatant corruption?
As a Pro Per who has been litigating against 7 attorneys in two States for the past 4 yrs., and who has won one Published Appeal, and one Writ, I can honestly say, its “LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DISQUALIFY ATTORNEYS”, and Catherine Kassenoff Succeeded

NY Judges that made Catherine Kassenoff Childless, Homeless
Judge Lewis Lubell ruled Allan should have sole custody of the kids and sole possession of the family home in Larchmont. He ordered Catherine evicted without notice. lLubell@nycourts.gov (2) Judge Nancy Quinn Koba, who, without hearing from Catherine or the children, signed orders to keep Catherine away from her children nkoba@nycourts.gov (3) Dr. Marc Abrams [above], custody evaluator #1. His recommendation: Because the mother “alienated” the children from their father, they should have no contact with their mother without a paid visitation supervisor listening to every word between mother and child. drabrams@drmarcabrams.com (4) Carol Most, attorney for the children, reportedly billed $270,000 to work for the “best interest of the children.” She recommended the court remove the mother from the children’s lives. gd@dimolaw.com; carolmost@cwmost.com; (5) Let’s not forget Dr. Kathleen E Mckay, MD. Dr. Kathleen McKay, the second custody evaluator, who replaced Dr. Abrams. Dr. Mckay decided Catherine should not see the children at all, even with a visitation supervisor, denying Catherine’s last wish to see her children before she died. https://www.vitals.com/doctors/1sk5x2/kathleen-mckay https://doctor.webmd.com/doctor/kathleen-mckay-5d858624-6a34-4436-a8d0-a38571a9fe89-overview https://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/2843759/Dr-KATHLEEN+E.-MCKAY-Hartsdale-NY.html

Maybe you should telll your readers that they shouldn’t be reviewing professionals they don’t know and have no experience with. And they should not be sending threatening and hostile messages to these people
What’s going on, Linda? Which “threatening and hostile messages” were sent to which people?
Please be more specific.
Did the senders of those “hostile and threatening messages” actually identify themselves as FR readers? 🤔
Without more details, your comment needlessly (or purposely) sort of targets FR and FR readers — a much gentler version of the threatening comments some anonymous person sent to FR with drops of blood in the heading about a week ago.
The Kassenoff case seems to have struck some kind of nerve, somewhere. May what follows reform the family courts.
Millions across the country and around the world are interested in the case. Those millions, each with their own reasons for being interested in the case, are reading, viewing and hearing information about the case on many different platforms.
Look at the comments on most articles here. Most of the comments here are harmless, funny, silly and serious comments from mostly good people. FR readers and commenters aren’t typically threatening or hostile. Those who threaten or misbehave on FR usually get the boot.
Meanwhile, billions of hostile and threatening comments are posted and remain on FB, Twitter or TikTok.
Your concerns here must be properly addressed. Frank is a busy guy. It looks like he published your comment so readers can be aware of your concerns.
Please tell us more about the “threatening and hostile messages” you referenced in your comment you posted above.
Thank you.
I am specifically talking about people who wrote hostile and vile emails to Dr. Susan K. Adler who has absolutely nothing to do with this case. This shows the dangers inherent in reviewing people you have never worked with.
Linda, kleenex is on sale, buy one get one free.
Can you tell us who wrote “hostile and vile” emails to Dr. Susan K. Adler?
Will you or she share copies of those emails here? The dangers inherent in not sharing as many known facts as possible are the problem.
If the authors of those emails claim to have been inspired by articles or comments on FR, it’s possible an email or two were sent to try to interrupt the family court investigations.
If Susan is willing to send those emails to Frank — or post those emails she received with her analysis on FR, that would be absolutely fantastic and so helpful.
It could shame the senders of those emails and also let others know how united good people are when we work together to find the truth about everything.
Do you think she might be willing to help?
As for the feature photo, it’s not Halloween, so what’s with scaring us with that goblin photo?
Who are you kidding – you’d bang her.
I’d bang her with cock, but something tells me she’d eat it.
Dear 9:06,
LMaO!!!
Sincerely,

This error seems par for the course on the sloppy reporting, click bait, unverified claims and BPD tears this website has been peddling recently. Carrying water for Crazy Cath wasn’t a wise choice for Frank, the clickbait isn’t worth the reputational damage. This poor innocent bystander got a crazy lynch mob attacking her, just like many people unfortunate enough to have had to to deal with crazy Cathy IRL.
This is an on going them. Psychologist the court appointment don’t except insurance. Insurance has a cap for hourly fee. Insurance requires documentation for proof of need for services. The courts Force these fees way above average. It’s a scam.
So many “family court” evaluators commit medical fraud. Only a few of the worst lost their licenses.
Have any of them ever been held accountable for the crimes they committed? Medical insurance fraud is a crime.
Did insurance companies pay for the medical fraud committed in that case?
Lots of DOJ posts about Medicaid/Medicare fraud arrests on their site. Have ANY family court evaluators EVER been investigated, arrested and/or prosecuted for the crimes they committed against so many children and families in family courts?
It seems “family court” administrators chose the absolute worst kind of people to be “evaluators”. It mirrors the trend in public schools. Teachers can teach students any weird thing, now. It’s planned chaos.
Would insurance companies that participated/facilitated in family court feuds be apart of this possible RICO?
It seems like the insurance companies should definitely have an interest in preventing the fraud in family court cases. The more insurance companies pay quack(and/or criminal) “family court evaluators” for bogus reports, the more money those insurance companies lose.
For example, Richard Gardner’s “Threat Therapy” has been used for the past forty years in child custody cases in family courts all over America. It’s surprising the insurance companies allowed it for so long. Studies of outcomes in those cases probably show devastated children and families everywhere it was used. So, yes. Maybe they could be considered complicit. Really good question.
Probably not.
Was that a simple snuffer to a candle or would you care to elaborate?

A few of the lawyers must have taken more than $20,800 a year from the family, right?
No wonder Allan and Catherine and the children were so stressed!

“I ask that you please keep telling my story so that the truth is known far and wide.” Catherine Kassenoff
Keep promoting Crazy Cathy’s lies, she thinks if it’s repeated enough it will be true.
Whether there truths or lies, her last wish has been granted by over 80 million tik tok views. I wonder how many views Frank Report received.
“Jen Lenny”,
Do you know what’s been happening in family courts?
Do you personally know any family court lawyers, employees or vendors?
Do you work in family courts?
Have you ever spoken with anyone in a family court case?
What’s with the name-calling, the slander and the total disregard for victims of family court crimes?
That’s the problem with setting the dogs loose, often they bite the wrong person.
The verdict is not completely in. Frank is doing a series on Allan. The court files have not been gone over. Frank is doing damage control because Allan is threatening.
Is Allan targeting ONLY Frank? 🤔
That’s weird. Most every news outlet (except The New York Times) is investigating and reporting the case.
Oh, so this is the woman who helped tear kids apart from their protective mother? I have no kind words.
Yes, let’s make sure that idiot mob threatens and terrifies the correct Susan Adler since Catherine Kassenoff was not happy with her child therapy services.
That is sarcasm, by the way.
This has gotten truly evil. It’s like the Frank report has become a website to help lunatic stalkers attack innocent people on behalf of a single crazy disgruntled, noncustodial parent.
There is no need to drag these parties into this, especially when you know there is a dangerous psychotic mob of morons actively harassing and threatening people.
You have become Catherines hitman. And this time you didn’t even get paid? congratulations.
That’s a crime.

Thank you for that.

At least you made a correction. It’s important to know who the court players are. Sorry to the misidentified doc. Frank’s trying to help us fix the courts.
@449 none of this fixes the courts. Frank is just gossip mongering for attention to his website. Who cares about the collateral damage. Shameful all around
Show the facts that are incorrect. Where’s the “gossip”.
The only gossip is in the court transcripts where greedy, sadistic attorneys and court appointed “experts” slander and marginalize healthy parents and productive citizens to fuel the money train.
Family court is where gossip rules and attorneys and gals are permitted and even encouraged to lie. Scam of the century.
Frank is saving children from these savage beasts each day. These criminals hate the spotlight and Franks work is outing them all.
Thousands of parents who live in fear and with little means are thankful to Frank and anyone else who dares to investigate and publish what others turn a blind eye to.
@Frank is fearless: How do you know Catherine was healthy?

@449
Sure, yet you totally stole the Kassenoff story from FR and wrote about it on your flimsy subreddit site.
At least you put up a correction. Legacy doesn’t correct anything.
What’s legacy?
You mean heritage or ancestry.
