PAS - Parental Alienation Syndrome

Posted by CL1368 on February 7, 2007 - 5:52pm

Wikipedia's description:

Parental Alienation Syndrome is a putative disorder proposed by Richard Gardner as "a disturbance in which children are obsessively preoccupied with depreciation and/or criticism of a parent. In other words, denigration that is unjustified and or exaggerated." Although Parental Alienation Syndrome has not gained official recognition as a psychological disorder, case law has recognized it in child custody disputes.

Just curious if anyone out there has experienced this and what they did to resolve or get around the syndrome to make contact with their children. Keep in mind, it can be parents, or grandparents.

Living is a Thing You Do

Serious questions. For completeness, you should know that I have compiled a page of articles, periodical reprints, booklists and references on the Japanese Quiet Therapies -- Constructive Living Bookstore is aimed at educating healthcare professionals in these methods, but some of the material is also self-help and aimed at regular folk who just need a bit of life-assistance.
