Parental alienation, child psychological abuse, and Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory. Bernet, W In New Paths for Acceptance: Opening Awareness in Interpersonal Acceptance-Rejection, pages 15–23. BrownWalker Press, USA, 2015.
abstract   bibtex   
Parental alienation is a serious mental condition that affects many children whose parents are embroiled in a high-conflict divorce. Most cases of severe parental alienation are caused by an alienating parent, who purposefully indoctrinates the child to dislike, fear, and reject a relationship with the rejected parent. It is generally accepted that causing parental alienation in a child is a form of psychological abuse. Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory may be a very useful framework for evaluating cases of possible parental alienation.
