Understanding the reality of parental alienation [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
In recent years, there have been several passionate controversies pertaining to child psychology and psychiatry, such as the claim that practitioners of satanism abuse and murder children, whether recovered memories of adults reliably describe past child maltreatment, whether facilitated communication helps autistic children disclose sexual abuse and whether children always tell the truth when reporting sexual abuse. One of the most important controversies involving children in a legal context has pertained to parental alienation (PA), which some practitioners misunderstand through ignorance or through purposeful denial. The author of this essay believes that parental alienation exists and damages thousands of children and families in the U.S., in France, and in many other countries every year. Thus, it is important to understand that some mental health professionals object to the concept of parental alienation or even deny the reality of parental alienation.
