Parental alienation Science and Law

“Both mental health and legal writers have proposed criteria for the diagnosis of PA. When Bernet recommended in 2008 that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) include a discussion of PA, the proposal included the diagnostic features of parental alienation disorder. […] In 2014, Amy Baker and her colleagues organized the criteria for the identification of PA into several factors. For use in this book,the editors and chapter authors have adapted the factors of Baker et al. for the Five-Factor Model for the identification and diagnosis of PA. The Five-Factor Model takes into consideration the actions and attitudes of the child, the reject parent, and the favored parent (see Table 3).”
