How Can the Process of Parental Alienation and the Alienator Be Effectively Treated
This article discusses primarily approaches or methods in dealing with a parent who alienates a child against another parent due to the hostility developed following divorce and separation. The basic vision or aims for combating parents in conflict are delineated. This is followed by the importance of being aware of the problems resulting in parental alienation (PA). To overcome PA an orderly set of stages from soft options to severe strategies a…
What Can Yet Be Done with Older Children Who Have Been Long-Term Victims of Parental Alienation
One of the most difficult tasks facing expert witnesses (psychologists and psychiatrists) is seeking to reverse parental alienation of long standing when a child has reached adolescence or become an adult. Despite the difficulty, the author describes a strategy that is sometimes effective to make a victim aware of the constancy of the alienated parent’s love, and to provide a rational explanation, via a letter, for the now adult explaining the pr…
Contrasting Complex with Highly Complex Contact Disputes Between Parents
This article discusses the complexity of seeking a solution to problems associated at times with parental alienation. Two scenarios are presented. Both cases involve a child who does not wish to have contact with an absent parent after the separation of the parents due to implacable hostility between them. In the first case, the child had a good relationship with the now absent parent. In the second case the child never had a close relationship w…
How Does Borderline Personality Disorder Affect Parental Care
This article seeks to find arguments based on research for the possibility of dealing with borderline personality disorders (BPDs). This is illustrated by the frequency with which children are removed from parents who have been given the diagnosis of BPD. The author favors the view that there are degrees of BPD. As a result, it is felt that psychological treatment can do much to reverse the symptoms of BPD, in many cases, if not all. Following th…
Is the Concept of Parental Alienation a Meaningful One
Many members of the judiciary do not yet accept the concept of parental alienation (PA) or parental alienation syndrome (PAS). It has not as yet been included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders–5 or International Classification of Diseases–11. This article discusses the concept of PA as meaningful and resulting from serious conflict before, during, and after separation of parents. It results in a child failing to have go…
Child Contact Disputes Between Parents and Allegations of Sex Abuse
This article is written by a psychologist practicing in the area of clinical and forensic psychology. He has written widely in the area of child sex abuse, including a book entitled Paedophilia. He has dealt with many cases of parental alienation where sex abuse by one parent has been alleged. The object of this article is to try to provide a way of clarifying whether or not sexual abuse has occurred between an adult and a child, especially when …
What if the Custodial Parent Refuses to Cooperate With Child Contact Decisions
This article considers the failings at present of the judicial system in not being even handed in providing justice for the noncustodial parent, who has for whatever reason been ousted from the relationship and has poor, if any, contact with his or her children. The advice being provided by the current psychologist dealing with such cases is for the judiciary to adopt a much firmer approach. This will lead to the judiciary being respected rather …
Attachment Theory and Parental Alienation
Following an acrimonious divorce or separation, arguments are frequently presented as to why a child should not be with a nonresident parent. The custodial parent, whether a father or a mother, uses the concept of a child being attached to himself or herself and therefore this should prevent the child from having actual or reasonable contact with the absent parent. This view is based on antagonism between the former partners rather than the impor…
Mediation with Separated Parents
Mediation is increasingly being used to attempt to resolve conflicts between parents following divorce and separation. The article considers the problems faced by the mediator and how mediation can sometimes take the place of hostile litigation. The value and objective of mediation is to create harmony where there is disharmony. This naturally affects not only the adults but children from the relationship. The manner in which mediation is conduct…
Causes and Associated Features of Divorce as Seen by Recent Research
Most research conducted has come from the United States but a number of countries also provided information in connection with divorce and separation and thier causes. Little information is available, however, on how to deal with this problem effectively. Among the causes indicated are: women's independence; too early marriage; economic factors; poor intellectual, educational, and social skills; liberal divorce laws; sexual factors leading to inc…
