About this book

Family law is fraught with conflict, and few issues spark more debate among mental health and legal professionals than parental alienation. When a child aligns strongly with one parent while rejecting the other—often due to indoctrination rather than legitimate reasons—the consequences can be devastating for families. Yet, professionals remain deeply divided on how to define, diagnose, and address this issue, creating further polarization in both policy and practice. Parental Alienation Theory: Official Synopsis is a bold step toward consensus. This synopsis provides an antidote to this issue by offering a concise, comprehensive summary of current information about PA grounded in the impressive accumulation of evidence from social science about this complex area of family law. It counters information on PA from sources that lack rigorous social science methodology and/or propagate advocacy positions without an evidence base. This concise text brings together a group of experts who have developed a shared framework on definitions, terminology, diagnosis, prevention, and intervention. Designed as a foundation for ongoing dialogue, this work invites contributions from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to refine and expand upon its principles in future editions. By fostering collaboration and standardizing approaches, this book seeks to bridge professional divides and offer families a clearer path to resolution.
