Parental Alienation: From Couch to Courtroom and Beyond
Welcome to our podcast Parental Alienation: From Couch to Courtroom and Beyond. We will discuss the resisting and refusing dynamic, commonly referred to as Parental Alienation, how you know it’s happening and what can be done about it. The literature and research will be presented and shown how this form of child abuse is a traumatic adverse childhood experience. Parental Alienation can cause stress and trauma in high conflict divorces. These podcasts focus on how attorneys and mental health professionals can support families and children.

The previous episodes built the theoretical, historical, and methodological foundation. This episode is where the contemporary empirical literature is laid on top of that foundation. Here we reframe the question: does parental alienation exist? The debate is not whether PA exists but whether institutions are willing to use the evidence; the prevalence literature — Harman and colleagues; the survivor literature — Baker; the reformulation literature — Kelly and Johnston; the nosology literature — Bernet and the ICD-11; international legal and legislative recognition; the implication — what all of this means for practitioners and for parents.
