Recommendations for dealing with parents who induce a parental alienation syndrome in their children. Gardner, R. A Journal of Divorce & Remarriage, 28(3-4):1–21, USA, 1998.
abstract   bibtex   
The parental alienation syndrome is commonly seen in highly contested child-custody disputes. The author has described three types: mild, moderate, and severe, each of which requires special approaches by both legal and mental health professionals. The purpose of this article is to correct some misinterpretations of the author's recommendations as well as to add some recently developed refinements. Particular focus is given to the transitional-site program that can be extremely useful for dealing with the severe type of parental alienation syndrome. Dealing properly with parental-alienation-syndrome families requires close cooperation between legal and mental health professionals. Without such cooperation, therapeutic approaches are not likely to succeed. With such cooperation, the treatment, in many cases, is likely to be highly effective.
