Parental Alienation
Översättning av utländskt PA-material till svenska
(Translation of non-Swedish material into Swedish)
OBS att denna sida är "under construction". Den skapades 9:e november 2022 (som en kopia från en lista över peer-reviewartiklar som tagit upp PA-konceptet) och kommer sannolikt att bearbetas mer ordentligt fram till i första hand våren 2023.
Här, på denna sida, kommer följande att ske:
1. Eliminering av referenser som har låg prioritet att översätta/är ointressanta att översätta.
2. Eliminering av de flesta engelskspråkiga kommentarer.
3. Översättning av i första hand abstracts + ev. kortfattande recensioner av innehållet i vissa artiklar. I några enstaka fall kommer fullständiga artiklar att publiceras här.
Högprioriterade artiklar kommer att markeras med * till de i någon bemärkelse översatts.
Artiklar som i sin helhet finns öppet läsbara (utan kostnad) på Internet kommer att prioriteras.
4. Upprättande av en lista över översatt material som inte utgörs av tidskriftsartiklar.

Peer-reviewartiklar som tagit upp PA-begreppet
Vissa av tidskrifterna nedan nämner inte specifikt PA men avhandlar ändå begreppet PA. Några av tidskrifterna är relativt små men uppfyller alla kriteriet att de ska ha genomgått oberoende expertgranskning före publicering.
Koden "BH" nedan syftar på referenser i "Z. Biringen & J.J. Harman, Parents acting badly, 2016" där PA är huvudtema. Listan har nu i 70 % av fallen länkar till de fullständiga originalartiklarn (i antingen pdf-word- eller annat format)./BC, Oktober, 2022.

Peer-reviewartiklar som författats av personer som är motståndare till PA-begreppet, desinformerar, misrepresenterar och undanhåller information om PA.
To comment all the published misrepresentations of the PA theory and concept would probably require the equivalent of many hundreds of pages detailing erronous assump-tions and methodologies, databiased statistics, logical flaws and blends with preconceived ideas and political view-points. Therefore the list below probably will expand over a course of several years. What is referred to below are, however, should be sufficient to show how some authors consciously or unconsciously have sabotaged what is known about parental alienation. As an introduction to the topic of misrepresentation of PA I suggest the articles by Deirdre C. Rand and William Bernet in Am. J. Fam. Therapy below./BC, 10 November 2021.

Children’s Legal Rights Journal
Jennifer Hoult, The Evidentiary Admissibility of Parental Alienation Syndrome: Science, Law, and Policy. Children’s Legal Rights Journal, Vol. 26(1), 2006:1-61.
Comment: William Bernet (2021) points at the following misleading statement by J. Hoult: “By diagnosing PAS solely on the basis of the child’s symptoms, the DDC tautologically presumes pathology, parental contribution, and lack of justification, the very factors that Gardner claimed distinguish PAS from other forms of [contact refusal]” (emphasis added) (p. 9)." W. Bernet (2021) writes: "When Hoult cited “DDC,” she was referring “differential diagnosis criteria” Gardner (2004a //Link to the manuscript - Gardner passed away in 2003//). Nothing in that article suggests that Gardner thought PAS could be diagnosed “solely on the basis of the child’s symptoms” or that an evaluator should “presume pathology, parental contribution, and lack of justification.”

Fallers methods and actions were completely debunked by Demonsthenes Lorandos (referring to legal scrutiny): Parental Alienation Toronto Conference (2009) - Demosthenes Lorandos, YouTube, 2016 (19 min 48 s->29 min 18 s).After close inspection and analysis by law and psychology experts it was concluded that Faller interviews with children were suggestive, coercive and untrustworthy. 2. Comment: One of Faller's erronous assumptions is that PAS is the same as physical and sexual abuse.

Lisa Fischel-Wolovick, Battered mothers and children in the courts: A lawyer's view. International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies, Vol. 17(3), 2020:246-261. Comment: According to my opinion, there are many problems with this paper - essentially misrepresenting the PA field: To document all the signs of ignorance, selection biases would occupy too much space here. It seems like the author does not even understand what is meant by a theory. The PA concept is, opposed to what is stated in the article, in the DSM-5 represented by five already existing diagnoses (as PA is about a complex pathological family dynamic).

Comment: William Bernet (2021) points at the following incorrect sentences (representing misunderstanding of PA theory) by O'Donohue et al.: "Absent any scientific data at all, Gardener [sic] advanced the claim that when there is an alienating parent, a child will, fairly inevitably, develop a series of problematic behaviors and/or reac-tions. He also claimed that the reverse inference was valid; specifically, that clinicians could conclude that there is an alienating parent when they observed children exhibiting certain behaviors” (emphasis added) (p. 114)."
W. Bernet (2021) writes: " Both sentences are incorrect. PA advocates say that contact refusal is sometimes cau-sed by the preferred parent’s alienating behaviors, but it may also have other causes. O’Donohue et al. provided no citation to Gardner or anyone else for these erroneous statements."

Vincenzo Puppo, Commentary On: An Objective Measure of Splitting in Parental Alienation: The Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire. Journal of Forensic Sciences, Vol. 63(1), 2018:342.
Comments: First this author obviously is not acquainted with all the empirical studies of the PA dynamic. Second, PAS is based on eight symptoms and behaviors of the alienated child. The author makes an issue of whether the children have a "disease" or are mentally ill or not. Obviously, he does not understand that the symptoms and behaviors - and in parti-cular the lack of ambivalence define what the child has experienced: A malicious parent who has attacked the child's lo-ving relationship with the other parent. This phenomenon should not be called a "disease" - instead it is about a patholo-gical family dynamic where the driving parent almost always has several psychiatric personality disorders (PS) combined (Narcissistic PD, Borderline PD, Anti-Social PD and often also paranoia are consistently mentioned in the professional litterature). The problem is not a semantic word game - what is important is what actions are taken to help the affected child. In my (BC) opinion, I find Puppo's comments irresponsible as they deflect a form of serious psychological child abuse - even the moderate level of PAS should be treated as a medical emergency. A formal and more detailed rebut-tal appeared in William Bernet, Parental alienation and misinformation.Family Court Review, Vol. 58(2), 2020:293-307.

Comment: William Bernet (2021) points at the following misleading statement by C. Wood: "In short, the psychological stressors resulting from divorce demonstrate that children’s ill feelings toward either parent are often a natural part of the dissolution process. The list of explanations—which is illustrative rather than exhau-stive—that provides reasons for children having such feelings furnishes some credible alternatives to the PAS theory that when the children have ill feelings toward their fathers, their mother must be the cause” (emphasis added) (p. 1390).". W. Bernet (2021) writes: "There has never been a principle of PAS theory “that when the children have ill feelings toward their fathers, their mother must be the cause.” Wood provided no source for that statement."

R. Vilalta & Maxime Winberg Noda, On the myth of parental alienation syndrome (PAS) and the DSM-5. Psychologist Papers, Vol. 38(3), 2017:224-231. Comments: The authors deflect from the PA issue in two ways:
1. They do not discuss PA as a pathological family dynamic - the focus is built around the semantics relating to PAS. 2. The concept of PA is built into five already existing diagnosis in the DSM-5.

Comment: This paper is an analysis of the article by J. Meier et al. (GWU Law School Public Law Research, 2019). From the abstract: "We failed to find any support for the conclusions made by Meier (2019). Parents found (versus alleged) to alienate their children, regardless of their gender, had greater odds of losing parenting time, losing custody of their children, and losing their case. These findings held even when the accusing parent had been found to have been abusive. Losses or decreases in custody were not found when the (alleged) alienated parent was found to have been abusive. Results indicate that the majority of courts carefully weigh allegations of all forms of family violence in their determinations about the best interests of children. These findings, along with several others, raise concerns that the methodological, analytical, and statistical problems we detail about Meier’s report (2019) make her conclusions untrustworthy."
