Parental Alienation: Case Series from India [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Over the last two decades in India, the issue of marital breakdown has become a common social phenomenon. Researchers have studied its impact on a child’s mental health and found issues related to emotional, social, and academic functioning. Besides these, an emerging phenomenon that mental health professionals (MHPs) have observed in these families is that following the parental separation, the child spitefully rejects and disparages one of the parents with whom they previously shared a healthy relationship. Though from a child-centric stance one may conclude that the child’s preference must be considered, there is a need to explore the underlying reasons for the child’s abrupt hostility towards the vilified parent.
