Parental Alienation: A Disputed Theory With Very Serious Consequences for Children
International scientific organizations, agencies & experts such as the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the American Psychiatric Association, the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges in the USA, and others point out that parental alienation is a pseudo-theory without scientific foundation.
The Best Interest of the Abuser
Family courts are dominated by the discredited pseudo-theory of parental alienation, which was specifically designed to offer legal protection to abusive men and which puts children's lives at risk in custody disputes.
The Controversial Role of Jennifer Harman as a Scientific Consultant on Parental Alienation in Custody Disputes
Jennifer Harman, a leading proponent of the parental alienation pseudo-theory in the USA, testifies as a scientific consultant in custody trials and recommends forcibly cutting off contact with the preferred parent.
The Best Interest of the Child
Parental alienation and domestic violence. In custody disputes, mothers and children who report domestic violence and sexual abuse are met with distrust. Judges, lawyers, expert consultants, and mental health professionals without training in child abuse and domestic violence issues very often dismiss allegations of domestic violence as false - even when there is very strong evidence - and attribute them to parental alienation.
Distrust toward victims of domestic violence by expert consultants in custody cases without proper training
The Family Courts in Colorado started 14 years ago appointing expert consultants in custody cases, under a private law framework, to substitute for public officials. The cost, which is borne by the litigants, can reach tens of thousands of dollars. This has created a situation of complete opacity, with children as the victims, who very often end up in the custody of the abusive parent.
