The parental alienation debate belongs in the courtroom, not in DSM-5. Houchin, T. M., Ranseen, J., Hash, P. A., & Bartnicki, D. J. Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, 40(1):127–31, USA, 2012. abstract bibtex The DSM-5 Task Force is presently considering whether to adopt parental alienation disorder (PAD) as a mental illness. Although controversy has surrounded PAD since its inception in 1985, pro-PAD groups and individuals have breathed new life into the push to establish it as a mental health diagnosis. In this analysis, we argue that it would be a serious mistake to adopt parental alienation disorder as a formal mental illness in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5).
