“You’re not a broken person.
You’re a person in a broken system.”

Family Systems and Scapegoat Trauma Expert
Founder, FSA Education
I named the abuse so you could name your reality.
I am the founding researcher who coined the term
Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA)™.
I don’t just research and write about this insidious systemic phenomenon—I’ve lived it.
There is a logic to your pain, and there is an efficient, cohesive way out. Your family system programmed a Hidden Architecture within you. In my unique FSA Recovery model, I use Database Theory and Kintsugi Philosophy, as well as my peer-reviewed published FSA research and lived experience as an FSA survivor, to show you the blueprints of that prison so that you can finally walk out the door.
A Commitment to FSA Education™
& Recovery for Survivors & Clinicians:
Where Scientific Authority meets Transpersonal Wisdom
FSA Education was founded by Rebecca C. Mandeville, the pioneering researcher who first named, identified, and defined the systemic phenomenon, Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA)™. Rebecca is also the author of Rejected, Shamed, and Blamed and the Principal Architect of a Global Movement to ensure FSA’s impact on child victims and adult survivors gains international recognition in clinical, educational, legal, and academic settings.
The Mandeville Methodology™
- The Ultimate Goal: Restoration of the Inviolate Self.
- The Forensic Science: The Identity Reconstruction Framework.
- The Healing Art: The Kintsugi Method for FSA Recovery™.
From Shattered To Sovereign.
Enter the Build Phase.
The Inviolate Self Project™
The Kintsugi Builders Circle™
Naming this form of systemic abuse was the essential first step. Now, it is time to build the “Exit.”
The Kintsugi Builders Circle (Tier 1) is a private, sovereign membership sanctuary for those ready to move from examining their painful past into the active evolution of their future.
Underpinning my FSA recovery methods is the Mandeville Theory of Systemic Identity Architecture (1998) and the Mandeville Unified Field Theory of the Self™. This is my “High-Frequency” approach to Identity Reconstruction and ‘True’ Self Restoration following Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA). To learn more about my architectural approach to FSA healing, visit my ‘About’ page.
These frameworks posit that beneath the fragmented “shards” of the FSA survivor’s systemic trauma, there exists an Inviolate Self—a core of being that remains integral and unbroken. My mission through The Inviolate Self Project™ is to help move FSA survivors beyond the limitations of “recovery” and into the “Grand Consecration” of their original, sovereign nature.
As an early ‘Charter’ member of this new FSA Recovery Platform build, your support directly funds my ongoing FSA research and recovery programs. By joining us during this “laying the foundation” stage, you are helping to build the very scaffolding that will support thousands of survivors in their journey toward sovereignty.
As a Tier 1 Charter Member, you will receive:
- The Monday Kintsugi FSA Healing Prompt™: A weekly proprietary prompt focused on Identity Reconstruction and ‘True’ Self Restoration following Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA). Members can engage with each other privately in Post Comments, where I also visit at least once a week to reply to your questions.
- A Controlled Environment: A private, calm, quiet space that is ‘invisible’ to search engines and independent of social feeds and public noise.
- Exclusive Charter Member Benefit: An automatic 15% discount on the upcoming Scapegoat Exit Masterclass™ (coming later in 2026) and all future product releases, including private 1:1 Family System ‘Forensic Audit’ Consultations with me.
- Your membership fee is securely processed through Stripe.
To get the most out of this Phase 2 work, it is highly recommended that you first read the foundational text: Rejected, Shamed, and Blamed. This ensures you have the necessary “forensic map” to get the most out of your membership.
Two Decades of Forensic
FSA Research
Begun twenty years ago, my FSA research represents a lifelong commitment to decoding the systemic and biological impact
of Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA).
My latest peer-reviewed study revealed FSA’s traumatizing impact can result in Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Dysfunction, further legitimatizing the physiological experiences of FSA survivors.
The Kintsugi Method for FSA Recovery is the clinical
and spiritual culmination of over thirty years of data,
lived experience, transpersonal insights, and a constant
commitment to the pursuit of core Wholeness.
This unique holistic pathway for FSA healing is based on the
Mandeville Theory of Systemic Identity Architecture™(1998)
Heal From The Outside-In
The Scapegoat Exit Masterclass™ and new community education online platform for FSA survivors are currently in final refinement for a 2026 – 2027 release.
