This article provides a brief, clear, and scientifically based overview of parental alienation: what it is, and how to identify, prevent, and overcome the problem.
The article responds to a need for objective information presented in an easily accessible format to which parents and professionals can refer people who need this information. I hear from many parents who feel embarrassed at their lack of contact with their children. This article can help relatives and friends better understand that children can reject good parents. I hope this will remove or lessen unwarranted stigma suffered by parents.
In certain cases, relatives and friends may choose to send the article to adolescent or adult alienated children who might be able to recognize their predicament as described in the article.
My hope is that people will share and circulate this article widely and that it will help raise awareness of parental alienation and lead to healing fractured relationships.
The article was first published on the Child and Family Blog in March 2022. This blog grew out of a project initially sponsored by Princeton University, Brookings Institution, University of Cambridge, and the Jacobs Foundation. I consider it the leading resource for reliable, fact-based, information on how the family influences children’s development.
