Challenging Parental Alienation

New Directions for Professionals and Parents

Herausgeber: Mercer, Jean; Drew, Margaret

Beschreibung

This book addresses the concept of parental alienation - the belief that when a child of divorced parents avoids one parent, it may be because the preferred parent has persuaded the child to do this. It argues against the unquestioning use of parental alienation concepts in child custody conflicts.
