PAS (Parental Alienation Syndrome) websites
Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) is the name given by Dr. Richard Gardner to what is described as “a deliberate attempt by one parent to destroy the relationship and bond his or her children have with their other parent – and – it also involves the children’s active and self created participation or collaboration in the process of alienation. The PAS is a pheonomenon that occurs almost exclusively within the context of divorce.”
The symptoms, the nature of appropriate treatment for this syndrome, and even its very existence, are the subject of substantial debate within both the psychological and legal communities. The following links include general information about PAS, but generally take an aggressive view that it does exist and should be taken into account in divorce and custody cases:
