"Parental alienation leads to a child's or adolescent's avoidance and rejection of one parent, which can have devastating and long-lasting impacts on their emotional health and family dynamics."
"Research indicates that an estimated 10 million adults have experienced severe alienation from their children, highlighting the widespread nature of this issue as a public health emergency."
"The negative influence of one parent can cause children to become stressed, saddened, and confused, exacerbating the emotional turmoil already present during family breakdowns."
Parental alienation (PA) refers to a child's refusal to engage with one parent due to negative influence from the other parent, often during high-conflict separations. The effects of PA can be severe and long-lasting, impacting children's emotional well-being. Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) was introduced by Dr. Richard A. Gardner, who noted that children may be indoctrinated against one parent. Recent research indicates that PA is a significant public health issue, with many parents experiencing severe symptoms like depression and PTSD due to alienation from their children.
