Understanding Targeted Parents’ Experience of Parental Alienation: A Qualitative Description from Their Own Perspective. Lee-Maturana, S., Matthewson, M., & Dwan, C. The American Journal of Family Therapy, 48:1–18, Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, USA, 2020.
Understanding Targeted Parents’ Experience of Parental Alienation: A Qualitative Description from Their Own Perspective [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
The aim of this study was to identify, synthetize and describe targeted parents’ experiences of being alienated from their children. Fifty-four self-referred targeted parents were interviewed. Two relevant themes emerged in regard to their experiences: targeted parents experiencing family violence before the alienation and what they experienced during the alienation. Mental health and legal practitioners need to be aware that targeted parents have suffered the significant loss of their children. Importantly, many parents experienced family violence before family separation and continue to experience coercion and control post family separation.
