Gardner, Richard A.
American Journal of Family Therapy, v31 n1 p1-21 Jan-Feb 2003
Child custody evaluators commonly find themselves confronted with resistance when they attempt to use the term parental alienation syndrome (PAS) in courts of law. The purpose of this article is to elucidate the reasons for the reluctance to use the PAS diagnosis and the applicability of parental alienation, as well as current DSM-IV substitute diagnoses.
