Excerpts "Many women have testified under oath regarding the forced removal of their children based on the scientifically inept theory of Parental Alienation Syndrome promulgated by Kinseyan-adherent Richard Gardner and his disciples. This suggests that few judges have read the following excerpt from the report of the Attorney General's Task Force on Family Violence. 

Judges should treat incest and molestation as serious criminal offenses.... Incarceration, whether in hospitals, treatment centers or prisons, is absolutely essential to the protection of the nation's children. The only true protection for children from a pedophile is incapacitation of the offender.25 "

"

Excerpts "Despite these grave consequences “parental alienation” and related pseudo concepts are embedded and endorsed in legal systems across different jurisdictions, including amongst evaluators tasked with reporting to family courts on the best interest of the child.

Ms. Alsalem’s report also provides recommendations for States and other stakeholders to reverse the long-lasting harm done to individuals, families and societies."

248. Examining the validity of parental alienation syndrome Article · July 2016 Abstract “Parental alienation syndrome” (PAS) is a phrase first coined by Dr. Richard Gardner. Since its inception several scholars have reviewed and criticized this construct, and it has never been accepted by the scientific community as a legitimate scientific construct, as a syndrome or as a mental disorder. Despite its general rejection as unscientific, the construct of PAS at times continues to be used in legal settings as if it has an adequate foundation within science, clinical, or forensic practice. This commentary briefly reviews past critiques of PAS and describes several additional problems that have occurred with the use of this construct. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/309029264_Examining_the_validity_of_parental_alienation_syndrome

Justice, to be just, should be based on scientifically proven theories and evidence. This article describes investigations carried out to show that two of the principles that underpin PAS are false: That children lie when pressed (alienated in the terminology of PAS), and that the principle that should guide judges’ actions for the good of the child should be that for the child to always be in contact with both parents. The results of these investigations show that these two principles are false and advocates the use of truly scientific proceedings for judges to grant custody in case of dispute between parents, as well as for determining the visitation for the noncustodial parent.

The best interest of children and their testimony Article in Children and Youth Services Review 51 · February 2015 with 122 Reads DOI: 10.1016/j.childyouth.2015.02.003 Abstract In Richard Gardner’s proposed Parental alienation syndrome, children reject contact with the noncustodial parent due to manipulation from the custodial parent. We investigated whether children are, in fact, easily manipulated, and how. Half of a sample of children ages 6 to 12 witnessed an incident of verbal aggression, while the other half did not. All were asked to report what happened. Half were then subjected to high pressure, stating that the aggressor would be their future teacher. Subjects were furthermore told that the perpetrator was either a good person or a bad person. After these two manipulations they reported again what they had witnessed. The results indicate that children rarely lie, and that although 40% of those who witnessed nothing created a false memory of an aggressive incident, this outcome was not influenced by the degree of pressure or positive or negative manipulation. We found no significant differences based on gender or age. We conclude that Gardner’s ideas about parental alienation syndrome, and in particular the ease of parental manipulation of children, were not empirically verified. We recommend that this concept not be used in the legal system. Are children susceptible to manipulation? The best interest....

Commentary for “Examining the use of ‘parental alienation syndrome’” Article · July 2016 Abstract This commentary is in response to the article, “Examining the use of ‘parental alienation syndrome,’” and provides useful information to individuals and institutions within both the mental health and legal fields. Further exploration of the concepts within Richard Gardner’s parental alienation syndrome (PAS) is important given the fact that PAS has no methodologically sound, peer-reviewed research and yet legal systems and mental health professionals continue to rely on it greatly in making very important legal decisions that affect the lives of many. While attorneys, judges, or clinicians may not say a child is suffering from PAS, or may never even use the term “alienating,” they still base their opinions and subsequent recommendations on Gardner’s concepts and ideology. Articles like this one hopefully bring light to these important areas and bring the focus back on what is in the best interest of the children.

254. Relaxation of rules for science detrimental to children Article · January 2016 Abstract This article examines the impact of the current role of evaluators in divorce and child custody cases where there are allegations of domestic violence and/or child abuse and what the courts permit as testimony by experts. The authors explore the courts’ permissive rules in family courts, and the influence evaluators have on the resulting decisions in those court cases as well as how personal beliefs, knowledge, experiences, and biases of the evaluators can affect evaluators’ recommendations to family court judges. The rules which permit less use of traditional normative tools, such as tests and assessments, in the specialized environment of a divorce proceeding or allegations of abuse are examined by the authors. This exploration takes place in the context of the scientific and professional associations that govern the psychology community. Finally, the article examines how a child’s report of abuse can negatively impact the court when in the hands of an evaluator who lacks sufficient training in domestic violence and child abuse and/or lacks the tools necessary to properly assess the issues before the court.

Parental alienation syndrome (PAS) has been labeled by the American Psychological Association as lacking data, and the organization has expressed concern over the term’s use. PAS originally took hold in American culture from the self-published writings of Richard A. Gardner, MD, who worked extensively with fathers who had been accused of molesting their children. Unfortunately, the term is widely used by Virginia guardian ad litems, custody evaluators, and attorneys to remove custody of children away from battered mothers. The term parental alienation syndrome is pervasively used in Virginia contested custody cases as a means to remove children from loving mothers."https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eRHozSUNMbFZOR00/view?usp=sharing

FATHER’S RIGHTS GROUPS THREATEN WOMEN’S GAINS—AND THEIR SAFETY By Pam Chamberlain, on March 1, 2011 Excerpts "APPEALING TO “SCIENCE”: THE MYTH OF PARENTAL ALIENATION "Over the last two decades a distressing pattern has emerged in divorce settlements: women who claimed that the fathers had abused their children ironically began to lose custody, in favor of the alleged abusers. It turned out that fathers’ rights groups had developed a persuasive argument in family courts across the country, enabling them to win custody of their children more often. The fathers hired expert witnesses trained in identifying a disorder in children called Parental Alienation Syndrome, or PAS—a phrase coined in 1985 by the psychiatrist Richard Gardner, who gave himself a new career in the process. He claimed that children of divorce could be alienated from one parent by the other, thus transforming what most experts acknowledge may be an occasional phenomenon into a full-blown, although unproven, theory. Gardner further insisted that any associated charges of child abuse were unfounded and due to a spiteful attempt by one parent to alienate children from the other.

269. Casualties of a Custody War part oneCasualties of a Custody War authors Mackenzie Carpenter, Ginny Kopas excerpts "Early last year, the conflict prompted a Westmoreland County judge to take drastic action. It was called "threat therapy."Common Pleas Judge John J. Driscoll directed Nathan and his brothers not only to visit their father, but to be in a positive frame of mind and be respectful and obedient toward him. If they didn't behave on those visits, former district attorney Driscoll ruled, their mother could go to jail. A questionable expert The kind of criminal contempt sanction that Driscoll levied - threatening to jail a parent for a child's behavior while the child is out of the parent's control - is highly unusual, according to national experts in family law. Driscoll's "threat therapy" ruling, which remains in effect, is all the more controversial because it seems to rely on recommendations by Dr. Richard Gardner, a prominent expert witness whose unorthodox ideas about treating children in child custody cases are popular with some lawyers, but have been questioned by many mainstream mental health professionals.

270. Open Message to the U.S. Senate & House of Representatives via UNITED FOR JUSTICE "A junk science theory called " Parental Alienation Syndrome" or "PAS" is being used as the primary courtroom tactic to shut the mouths of abused children and mothers. Developed by Richard Gardner of Columbia University, this "syndrome" he purports is not based on systematic research, instead developed from personal observation and prejudices. Gardner has never tested his theory, it is not contained within the DSM-IV, and most of its foundational assumptions have been disproved. Gardner has espoused recommendations called "Threat Therapy" to send children to juvenile detention centers and mothers to jail for reporting abuse. He has written articles expressing the idea that incest and pedophilia may not be as traumatic as current social attitudes suggest. PAS is routinely used in courts across the country to inappropriately remove custody from loving, safe and fit mothers under a variety of scenarios: domestic violence, child abuse of any sort, reluctance to support flip-flopping shared custody schedules, reluctance to send children on unsupervised visitation with fathers with anger-management problems, substance abuse problems, poor parenting, etc. Abused and molested children have lost their voices in court. There exists a pattern of court rulings which reflect that molestation or other abuses of one's own child can earn a father sole custody, whereas if the same crime had been committed upon the child who lives next door, the same perpetrator would be sentenced to a long prison term. While these re-victimized children lose their mothers, protracted litigation pads the pockets of lawyers, mental health providers, custody evaluators, and visitation monitors. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eNXpMTUttSWZSYkk/view?usp=sharing

271. Evaluating PAS: A Critique of Elizabeth Ellis's “A Stepwise Approach to Evaluating Children for PAS” Amy Neustein ; Michael Lesher a Linguistic Technology Systems, Fort Lee, New Jersey Private Practice, Passaic, New Jersey Online Publication Date: 01 July 2009 Excerpts "Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) is a hydra: chop off its head, and new ones sprout up to take its place. For 20 years, critics of PAS theory have debunked its flawed assumptions, its self-serving methodology, and its inadequacy to assess allegations of child sexual abuse (e.g., Bruch, 2001; Hoult, 2006; Niggemyer, 1998; Neustein & Lesher, 2005). Now, Dr. Elizabeth Ellis, a defender of PAS theory, concedes the most damning of the objections, yet contends that the theory may be salvaged by standardizing the methods by which evaluators detect the elusive syndrome behind complaints of abusive behavior by a parent (usually a father) issuing from a sincere, non-pathological child. But, arming PAS evaluators with a refurbished ‘‘stepwise’’ methodology does not cure the fundamental defects of the theory; Ellis’s methods only put a new face on the old evils. In fact, nothing will fit PAS for the professional demands of forensic psychology or for the needs of the family court judges who claim to rely on it. What the theory needs is not retouching, but rejection. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Se7RUbUV3eNFhhbk5QQkljY2c/view?usp=sharing

272. Child abuse and child custody Posted By Judith Reisman On 03/09/1999 Excerpts " arstow cites judicial training as misguided, commonly “relying upon such child custody experts” as Dr. Richard Gardner, whose “Parental Alienation Syndrome” (PAS) trivializes pedophilia and incest. Gardner writes, “If the mother has reacted to the [incestuous] abuse in a hysterical fashion, or used it as an excuse for a campaign of denigration of the father, then the therapist does well to ‘sober her up.'” Barstow asserts that under threat of PAS mothers are indeed being “sobered up.” Mothers reporting incest become “guilty” of PAS (denigrating and alienating the father). That is, “emotional abuse” of the child. Thus, women nationwide who follow the law and seek protective custody orders from the state after battery or child sexual abuse, are increasingly labeled the “emotionally” harmful “party.” One such PAS mom writes, “I am only allowed to see her 4 hours a month, I am being charged $100.00 an hour to visit my own daughter … and I pay $600.00 a month child support [to the incest offender].

If there is a parenting order in place, perpetrators will require the other parent follow it to the letter – regardless if the child wants to go to a friend’s birthday party or is sick and should stay in bed. Abusive parents refuse to be flexible, even against the child’s best interests. They often continually file motions to harass the victim with court orders. They often blame the other parent for any bad grades or illnesses without taking any responsibility for their own contributions to the problems. When older teen children refuse to come see the abusive controlling parent anymore, the abuser blames the other parent and often uses the discredited “parental alienation syndrome” to ask the court to change custody or find the victim in contempt.

Epub 2017 Aug 17 Vincenzo Puppo M.D. First published: 5 January 2018 https://doi.org/10.1111/1556-4029.13660 Excerpts " Parental alienation syndrome (PAS) is defined as a mental state in which a child, usually one whose parents are engaged in a high‐conflict separation or divorce, allies himself strongly with one parent and rejects a relationship with the other parent without legitimate justification. Many scholars of psychology and the law have examined the literature regarding PAS: they have encountered a lack of empirical studies published in peer‐reviewed journals. Remains a paucity of scientific evidence that PAS must be a psychiatric diagnosis. The courts are quite capable of dealing with this type of scenario without invoking a mental illness to explain a child's malignity against a parent. These conflicted children should not be labeled as mentally ill. PAS has neither clinical relevance to justify its adoption as a mental illness 2. Parental alienation syndrome is not supported by any evidence‐based data, unknown in medical settings, unquoted in medical books, absent in DSM, and never demonstrated by controlled studies published in high scientific level journals. From a review on this issue, it seems evident its theoretical roots lie on a theory that justify gender violence and children sexual abuse. In severe cases, PAS becomes a new and efficient tool of intrafamiliar violence. The treatment of severe cases is to stop any contact between mother and children. In Courts, magistrates, in making decisions, have to rely on the concept of the best interest of the child; therefore, it is very difficult to justify the separation between mother and child for the sole purpose of privileging a more intimate relationship with the father, where the child shows that he feels good with his mother and has good scholarly profit 3. If a parent denounces the behavior of the other parent for the moral and material disappearance of the child by himself, the judge is required to ascertain the veracity of the above behaviors, using the common means of proof, given that the right parental requirements are the ability to preserve the continuity of parental relationships with the other parent. The Milan (Italy) Tribunal, Decree of 11 March 2017, reiterates that PAS is not a clinically investigated disease; the ways to marginalize and neutralize the other parental figure are not a disease 4. Clinicians and forensic practitioners must not consider the Parental Acceptance–Rejection Questionnaire for the diagnosis of parental alienation because PAS is not a disease and the resort to PAS in courts must be rejected. Parental alienation syndrome has been discredited by mental health professionals, but it continues to influence the decisions of family courts, in this highly adversarial process, children deserve independent representation to ensure that their interests remain front and center. Social services systems must improve interventions to address high‐conflict marital dissolutions and develop collaborations with courts to avoid lifelong negative consequences for the children involved in these cases. A public health model that focuses on mental health promotion may provide a better framework for generating strategies to reduce parental conflict 5.

282. No empirical research exists validating parental alienation syndrome Posted February 9, 2015 Tweet This | Share on Facebook Rebecca Shiemke Michigan Poverty Law Program Excerpts "As Lorandos notes, PAS was developed by Richard Gardner in the 1980s, but he fails to disclose that Gardner based his theory on his own anecdotal clinical observations, rather than on any scientifically reliable data. As a result, Gardner’s theory must be understood in the context of his extreme views of child sexual abuse allegations (as raised by mothers) and pedophilia. Gardner believed that false child sexual abuse allegations were widespread in custody disputes and rose to the level of “hysteria.”1 Among his many public statements on pedophilia, Gardner stated: “Pedophilia has been considered the norm by the vast majority of individuals in the history of the world.”2 As a result of these beliefs, Gardner developed PAS, “a disorder of children, arising almost exclusively in child-custody disputes, in which one parent (usually the mother) programs the child to hate the other parent (usually the father).”3 Gardner’s remedies for PAS were extreme and advocated severing all contact between the child and the alleged alienating parent and placing the child in the exclusive care of the parent of whom the child expressed fear.

When the first article was submitted for publication, the reviewers commented that it might not be worthy of publication because it was clear to them “parental alienation syndrome” or disorder (PAS/PAD) had been widely discredited and not accepted as a diagnosis by any classification system nor by any creditable professional organization. The reviewers went on to discuss the lack of peer reviewed research in over 25 years supporting such a disorder, and that it really had no use in family or other courts, but that this was now widely known. We tended to agree but then received the second article, and the third. In checking informally with others in the field around this country and others, we realized that although the aforementioned comments were correct, it appeared that the science had not actually made it into all family courts in the United States or in other countries.

284. When courts accept what science rejects: Custody issues concerning the alleged “parental alienation syndrome” Miguel Clemente &Dolores Padilla-Racero Pages 126-133 | Published online: 11 Oct 2016 Download citation https://doi.org/10.1080/15379418.2016.1219245 Excerpts ABSTRACT “Parental alienation syndrome” (PAS) is unscientific and is an affront to children, women who hold the custody of children of separated couples, science, human rights, and the justice system itself. Justice, to be just, should be based on scientifically proven theories and evidence. This article describes investigations carried out to show that two of the principles that underpin PAS are false: That children lie when pressed (alienated in the terminology of PAS), and that the principle that should guide judges’ actions for the good of the child should be that for the child to always be in contact with both parents. The results of these investigations show that these two principles are false and advocates the use of truly scientific proceedings for judges to grant custody in case of dispute between parents, as well as for determining the visitation for the noncustodial parent.

Silberg Pages 134-143 | Published online: 11 Oct 2016 Download citation https://doi.org/10.1080/15379418.2016.1219974 ABSTRACT The coercive and punitive “therapies” recommended for children diagnosed with parental alienation constitute an ethical minefield and are especially inappropriate when used on children who have already been traumatized. Forced reunification against a child’s will and without taking into consideration the child’s point of view and emotional well-being, can be expected to reinforce a sense of helplessness and powerlessness in an already vulnerable child. Such “treatment” can be expected to do more harm than good, and rather than helping their well-being, could cause lasting psychological harm, particularly when imposed upon children who claim the parent they are being forced to reunify with is abusive.

Since its inception several scholars have reviewed and criticized this construct, and it has never been accepted by the scientific community as a legitimate scientific construct, as a syndrome or as a mental disorder. Despite its general rejection as unscientific, the construct of PAS at times continues to be used in legal settings as if it has an adequate foundation within science, clinical, or forensic practice. This commentary briefly reviews past critiques of PAS and describes several additional problems that have occurred with the use of this construct. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15379418.2016.1217758?journalCode=wjcc20

287. No way to turn: Traps encountered by many battered women with negative child custody experiences Daniel G. Saunders &Katherine H. Oglesby Pages 154-177 | Published online: 11 Oct 2016 Download citation https://doi.org/10.1080/15379418.2016.1213114 ABSTRACT Women leaving violent relationships face many challenges and risks. A survivor with children may encounter even greater barriers in protecting herself and her children from an ex-partner. These barriers are especially insidious because they take the form of “no-win” situations or “traps.” If she stays she may be accused of “failing to protect” her children from violence and then faces more violence, yet leaving means facing the risk of stalking, harassment and more abuse. Reporting threats or violence to authorities or being reluctant to co-parent means she goes against the “friendly parent” standard used to award custody. She also risks being accused of making false allegations of abuse or being labeled as an “alienator,” causing “parental alienation syndrome” in her child. We illustrate such traps with survivors’ own words among those who experience very negative custody or visitation outcomes. Implications are made for professional practice and policy reform. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15379418.2016.1213114?journalCode=wjcc20

288. Commentary for “Examining the use of ‘parental alienation syndrome’” Morgan Shaw Pages 144-146 | Published online: 11 Oct 2016 Download citation https://doi.org/10.1080/15379418.2016.1219244 ABSTRACT This commentary is in response to the article, “Examining the use of ‘parental alienation syndrome,’” and provides useful information to individuals and institutions within both the mental health and legal fields. Further exploration of the concepts within Richard Gardner’s parental alienation syndrome (PAS) is important given the fact that PAS has no methodologically sound, peer-reviewed research and yet legal systems and mental health professionals continue to rely on it greatly in making very important legal decisions that affect the lives of many. While attorneys, judges, or clinicians may not say a child is suffering from PAS, or may never even use the term “alienating,” they still base their opinions and subsequent recommendations on Gardner’s concepts and ideology. Articles like this one hopefully bring light to these important areas and bring the focus back on what is in the best interest of the children. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15379418.2016.1219244?journalCode=wjcc20

291. Parental Alienation Empirical Analysis: Child Best Interests or Parental Rights? © Linda C Neilson, Professor Emerita, UNB, Research Associate, Muriel McQueen Fergusson Centre for Family Violence Research http://www.fredacentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Parental-Alienation-Linda-Neilson.pdf Excerpts Page 35 In other words, courts accepting parental alienation theory in cross claim cases are placing protective parents (primarily mothers) in a horrifying double bind: if the parent insists on presenting evidence of domestic violence or child abuse in order to protect the children she risks her efforts being categorized as attempts to alienate the children from the other parent. She may even face loss of primary care or even contact with her children. She thereby places her children at risk. If the protecting parent fails to present such evidence to the court, she also places the children at risk because the court making the custody and access order will have no knowledge of potential risks to children. It is likely that many protective parents are chosing the second option rather than risking loss of the children.

What is known about parenting in the context of coercively controlling violence, and what the legislation directs courts to consider, is juxtaposed with the actuality of court decision making. Current knowledge about the recognition of domestic violence in judicial practice is overviewed, drawing particular attention to the role of the “expert” family assessment in determinations of a child’s “best interests”. A comprehensive synopsis of the existing research on these “expert” reports in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States is provided. It is concluded that, in court proceedings the reality of living with coercively controlling violence and the potential on-going risks it poses to children and non-abusive parents, is typically negated. Instead, “best interests” considerations prioritise the maintenance of perpetrator/child relationships, and thus “abuser’s rights” over victim safety. Judicial officers are not experts in domestic violence and they can only make decisions on the basis of the evidence before them, the assessments made by the “experts” likely play an important role in best interest considerations. Of concern is current research that calls into serious question the expertise of these “experts” when it comes to proceedings involving allegations of coercively controlling violence. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1plT_jdBI79kdQQgHxEkvZW1jAWA00nk0

293. Article taken from www.judicialcouncil.org. Bias in Family Courts High conflict families are disproportionately represented among the population of those contesting custody and visitation. These cases commonly involve domestic violence, child abuse, and substance abuse. Research indicates that that custody litigation can become a vehicle whereby batterers and child abusers attempt to extend or maintain their control and authority over their victims after separation. Although, research has not found a higher incidence of false allegations of child abuse and domestic violence in the context of custody/visitation, officers of the court tend to be unreasonably suspicious of such claims and that too often custody decisions are based on bad science, misinterpretation of fact, and evaluator bias. As a result, many abused women and their children find themselves re-victimized by the justice system after separation. Empirical research examining this issue is summarized below.https://theccbi.com/article-taken-from-www-judicialcouncil-org-bias-in-family-courts/ hard copy https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vYD5JWPMP7vzBXITtijA4pp1MGtgIA0k

294. ESSAY THE EMPIRICAL TURN IN FAMILY LAW Clare Huntington* Excerpts page 255 To determine a parent’s openness to the child’s ongoing relationship with the other parent, some courts have relied on so-called parental alienation syndrome.161 Developed by a single psychologist Excerpts Pgae 256 "based on interviews with only his clients and self-published without the benefit of peer review,162 parental alienation syndrome is not recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM),163 and it has been uniformly discredited by psychologists.164 Despite this lack of scientific basis, many courts and mental health professionals, who provide highly influential custody evaluations to courts, have invoked parental alienation syndrome.165 In light of the looser evidentiary rules used in family court,166 the Daubert standard, developed for the purpose of distinguishing reliable Excerpts page 257 scientific evidence from unreliable scientific evidence,167 is not an effective tool for combatting parental alienation syndrome. Family courts rarely use the test, either to screen expert witnesses in court or when drawing on reports from mental health professionals evaluating custody.168 As a result, highly unreliable and unscientific evidence continues to dominate in family court.169 2. Legislation. — Empirical evidence also plays an important role in lawmaking. Legislatures regularly use empirical evidence to identify problems and determine appropriate solutions. When Congress passed the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997,170 it relied on a wealth of empirical evidence about problems plaguing the child welfare system.171 Congress held hearings and found that the child welfare system was not serving the interests of children because family-preservation efforts were keeping some children in dangerous homes, the problem of “foster care drift” (the term used to describe both long stays in foster care and placement in multiple homes) was getting worse, and children would be better served by promoting adoption rather than family preservation.172 Hard Copy https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pM7IwyWastibyasK5VzCwkgB5npXx9o_

296. Joan Meier updates findings of parental alienation usage and abuse of child By CPPA Website • 10 Feb, 2018 Excerpts " The data she has gathered continues to show when child abuse is reported, it is less believed than DV, especially child sexual abuse. One theory is judges know child abuse will impact custody while most judges separate DV from child abuse, thus allowing for this to not interfere with custody. We are at a moment in time when you have to ask yourself if we are going to force protective parents to stay in abusive marriages, allowing the children to be exposed to abuse and learn abuse to be a norm, or are we going to acknowledge that children are being abused and protect them now from the abuser. While we even state the odds of losing custody when child abuse is reported are so high on our site, we cannot go back. We cannot allow protective and abused parents to stay with the abuser for the children will not be protected if they leave to safety. Children have a right to be safe.

297. Parental Alienation Syndrome: The Hoax that Hurts Children Barry Goldstein, NOMAS Task Group on Child Custody http://nomas.org/parental-alienation-syndrome-hoax-hurts-children/ Excerpts Richard Gardner did not rely on any research to concoct his theory of Parental Alienation Syndrome. Instead it came from his personal experiences, beliefs and biases. His outrageous bias is demonstrated by many public statements to the effect that sex between adults and children can be acceptable.[1] Here are two examples, but there are more in a chapter written by Dr. Paul J. Fink, past president of the American Psychiatric Association. Pedophilia “is a widespread and accepted practice among literally billions of people.”[2] “The (sexually abused) child might be told about other societies in which such behavior was and is considered normal… In such discussions the child has to be helped to appreciate that we have in our society an exaggeratedly punitive and moralistic attitude about adult-child sexual encounters.”[3] Richard Gardner was an active and effective promoter of PAS and used it to create a cottage industry of lawyers and mental health professionals who have enjoyed large incomes by supporting practices that help abusive fathers. Most child custody cases are settled more or less amicably. The problem is with the 3.8% of cases that require a trial and often much more.[4] Although many court professionals have been misled to treat these as “high conflict” cases by which they mean both parents are acting out in ways that hurt the children, the research demonstrates a large majority of these cases are really domestic violence.[5] The most dangerous abusers, ones who believe their partners have no right to leave are using a variety of tactics to manipulate the courts to regain control over their victims. Most of these abusers have not committed the most severe physical abuse which is what most court professionals are looking for and so they fail to recognize the danger or the motives.

298. A Discredited Theory Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) is a theory created by Dr. Richard Gardner for use against protective mothers in custody and divorce proceedings. PAS is not based on any research but rather the personal beliefs, experience and bias of Dr. Gardner. He assumed that virtually all reports of domestic violence or child abuse must be false. PAS is not recognized by any legitimate scientific organization and is not included in any version of the the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). http://stopabusecampaign.org/adverse-childhood-experiences-study/preventing-trauma/safe-child-act-a/parental-alienation-syndrome/
