Parental Alienation — Science and Law

Demosthenes Lorandos, William Bernet | English, 2020

Parental Alienation – Science and Law explains the research that creates the foundation for the assessment, identification, and intervention in cases of parental alienation (PA). For attorneys, judges, and family law professionals, this book explains in detail the scientific basis for testimony and legal decisions that relate to PA. There are two complementary features for most of the chapters. First, the chapter authors address how evidence regarding PA meets Frye, Daubert, and Mohan criteria. The second feature is to refute common misinformation. The editors of this book are concerned that some of the discourse regarding PA has spun out of control, into pervasive misinformation. This book provides abundant information for correcting and counteracting misinformation.
