This book, written by two leading experts in the field, provides a balance of theoretical background and practical hands-on information to guide both parents and practitioners through this devastating phenomenon. The authors’ many years of experience have shaped their understanding of the causes of parental alienation, the manifestations of this serious mental health condition, and interventions that are likely to be helpful in the short-term and the long-term. The book is written in a readable, engaging manner interspersed with interesting case vignettes. As well as introducing some new theoretical concepts, such as the transition bridge, and helping the reader to understand the unique dynamics of the child's rejection, perhaps the most original parts of the book focus on taking action to deal with the problem and strategies for healing. The authors provide practical advice on preparing for court including how to develop a chronology of events and how to prepare a written submission, even down to choosing a writing style that is most likely to be read by the judge. Specific guidance is also provided on how to help alienated children heal through reunification. Understanding Parental Alienation is a highly valuable resource for parents and a must-read book for every mental health professional, social worker or legal professional working with families in divorce.

Putting Children First helps mothers and fathers unlock and resolve the conflict around contact with children that can arise during and after separation. Using strategies such as parenting plans, scripted phone calls and parenting meetings, the book will enable parents to communicate effectively on all the most important things in their children’s lives – and make relaxed arrangements for the continued involvement by both parents with their children.

The paper also examines research around parental behaviours in relation to the willingness and ability to agree and enact child maintenance agreements and suggests that, not only are the current statutory maintenance, benefit and tax regulations iniquitous, but that child maintenance may only play a marginal role in the alleviation of child poverty.

These can be exacerbated when children or parents make allegations of harm or abuse against the parent who is being rejected. Whilst there is no settled definition of parental alienation in psychology, it is a term that has meaning within England and Wales case law and is something that magistrates and judges are increasing required to deal with in both private and public law cases. Drawing on established psychological and psychoanalytic constructs, as well as international research into the phenomenon of children’s post-separation rejecting behaviours, this paper will offer insights into the complex dynamics that can lead to alienation and the developmental harm that these may cause to children.
