Parental Alienation Syndrome :
Parental Alienation Syndrome ( PAS) is a disorder recognized by a Child Psychiatrist, Richard A. Gardener, M.D. It is disorder which a child is obsessively preoccupied with criticism of a parent. Children are taught to hate the targeted parent to the point of wanting to eliminate them from their lives. Parental Alienation Syndrome is one of the most commonly recognized terms in child custody cases. If your children are diagnosed with PAS, counseling children of parental alienation syndrome may be needed. PAS can occur in any financial or cultural background.
PAS is made up of two factors: brain washing of child from one parent and self-created contributions by the child. Parent neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, or abandonment of the children may contribute to cause PAS.
Parental Alienation (PA) versus Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS)
Alienation Syndrome (PAS) is considered to be a specific subcategory of Parental Alienation (PA). The subtle difference is that Parental Alienation focuses on parents’ behavior, and Parental Alienation Syndrome focuses on the child’s behavior.
