READ the latest peer-reviewed article by Harman et al. (2022) on the scientific status of parental alienation. The results confirmed that the current state of PA scholarship meets three criteria of a maturing field of scientific inquiry: an expanding literature, a shift toward quantitative studies, and a growing body of research that tests theory-generated hypotheses.

To summarise, Parental Alienation literature has produced a scientifically trustworthy knowledge base. Nearly 40% of the PA literature has been published since 2016. https://doi.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fdev0001404

Dr. Craig Childress: Attachment Based "Parental Alienation" (AB-PA)

An Open Letter to the Parental Alienation Study Group (PASG):

We do this through the DSM-5.  The DSM-5 diagnosis we seek in ALL cases of “parental alienation” is V995.51 Child Psychological Abuse, Confirmed.  The attachment-related pathology of “parental alienation” is not a child custody issue, it is a child protection issue.  That is the definitional change that will lead to the solution.

I have laid the Foundations for this diagnosis.  I have identified three definitive diagnostic indicators for the pathology.  These three diagnostic indicators are all established symptoms that are within the diagnostic scope of practice for ALL mental health professionals: 1) attachment-related symptoms, 2) personality disorder features, 3) an encapsulated…

Parental Alienation Database

This online database pertains to parental alienation, a mental condition in which a child – usually one whose parents are engaged in a high-conflict separation or divorce – allies strongly with one parent (the preferred parent or alienating parent) and rejects a relationship with the other parent (the target parent or alienated parent) without legitimate justification.
