Parental alienation is a term used when a child rejects one parent for unjustified, unrealistic, or unusual reasons. This phenomenon most often occurs when parents divorce, and the divorce or separation is usually highly conflictual. Parental alienation is believed to be a form of emotional or psychological abuse. The harm done to children subjected to parental alienation strategies are long-term and can endure throughout their lives.

The objectives of this Master Class go beyond simply providing an overview of parental alienation and delve into the most prevalent theories of parental alienation, as well as the differences and similarities between them.

As research indicates, traditional interventions are typically ineffective with parental alienation, therefore learning to identify the phenomena and implement appropriate interventions is imperative to helping children and families heal. The response to parental alienation is most effective when it is multi-disciplinary; appropriate treatment plans usually require both legal and therapeutic interventions. It is also known that unwitting or uninformed professionals can inadvertently exacerbate the problem. Education is key!
