About The Book :
Your primary resource for information on the growing social disorder that turns children against their parents

The dramatic increase in the number of child-custody disputes since the 1970s has created an equally dramatic need for a standard reference work that examines the growing social problem of children who develop an irrational hatred for a parent as the result of divorce. The International Handbook of Parental Alienation Syndrome : Conceptual, Clinical, and Legal Considerations features clinical, legal, and research perspectives from 32 contributors representing eight countries, building on the work of the late Dr. Richard Gardner, a pioneer in the theory, practice, diagnosis, and treatment for Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS). This unique book addresses the effects of PAS on parents and children, discusses issues for reconciliation between parent and alienated child, and includes material published for the first time on incidence, gender, and false allegations of abuse in PAS.

The International Handbook of Parental Alienation Syndrome is an invaluable single resource of international theory and practice on the evaluation and treatment of PAS families. The book examines important concepts (the roles of family members, professionals, and the judicial system in the development of PAS, the use of statistics to distinguish between mild, moderate, and severe forms of the disorder) ; clinical considerations (counseling and family therapy, psychological test-assisted detection of PAS, misdiagnosis) ; and legal issues (PAS in American law, gender bias in the courts, international parental abductions).

Topics addressed in The International Handbook of Parental Alienation Syndrome include :

the factors affecting reconciliation between parent and alienated child

the role of medical reports

sexual abuse allegations in child-custody disputes

PAS and transsexual parents

the legal requirements of experts’ courtroom testimony

the Family Law Reform Act of 1995

PAS in compulsory public custody conflicts

predictions on the fate of PAS children

The International Handbook of Parental Alienation Syndrome : Conceptual, Clinical, and Legal Considerations is the essential reference volume on this growing disorder. It’s an invaluable resource for mental health professionals, family court mediators, judges and lawyers working in family law and juvenile and criminal courts, and parents seeking to educate themselves and others about the problem.
