Dr. Warshak’s e-LIBE offers downloadable resources on parental alienation, child custody, parenting plans, and relocation disputes for parents and professionals dealing with divorce and child custody issues.
The items in this e-Library are for your personal use only and may not be publicly disseminated, distributed, or posted in any forum. A service fee may be charged to help cover the costs of maintaining and updating this website. For papers that have been published in professional journals or books, the items in this e-Library are the final manuscript versions rather than the final published versions. A manuscript version is sufficient for most purposes. After reading the manuscript, if you intend to use these papers in litigation you may want the final published versions. Information about obtaining copies of the final published versions can be found on the first page of each manuscript or by visiting the journal’s website.

Fifteen of my most important papers on parental alienation, many formerly offered on this site, will be available in the Spring of 2026 in one convenient, low-cost, book: The Psychology of Alienated Children: When Children Reject Parents, the first volume of the Collected Papers of Richard A. Warshak. The book includes a new introduction and commentary for each of the fifteen chapters. I give behind-the-scenes stories of these publications, and reflect on the papers’ key contributions, how they were received, and how they have influenced judges, lawyers, and therapists in their approach to parental alienation issues. The book concludes with an epilogue that presents my perspective on the current status of parental alienation research and where I see things going in the future. To purchase the book, visit warshak.com.
Because these articles are part of the forthcoming volume, I can no longer offer the manuscripts for download. If you cannot purchase the book, most articles are available for purchase directly from the publisher, or you can ask your local public library to add The Psychology of Alienated Children to their collection.
Welcome Back, Pluto: Understanding, Preventing, and Overcoming Parental Alienation is now available as a video for rent or purchase directly from Amazon Prime Video. It is no longer offered on the Warshak e-LIBE.
