Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) is proposed as a syndrome of behaviours arising from a process of parental alienation claimed to have been observed in situations where one parent is implacably hostile to the other. The term PAS was originally coined by Dr. Richard Gardner (his formulation required that there also be false allegations of child sexual abuse). It is a term that applies to the children and not to the alienating parent. Those who claim that PAS is a legitimate syndrome say it occurs in a child when one parent causes the child to express hatred toward the other parent, and there are not clearly identifiable justifications for that.
The term has aroused controversy because of the use of the word syndrome, which has a special meaning in a medical context. PAS, however, shares certain characteristics with Stockholm syndrome, so it is not necessary to infer that syndrome is being used in a medical sense when using the term. Controversy also surrounds the methods used to indicate that PAS has occurred, and those claiming it has occurred may not always take adequate account of the views of children themselves in family break-up situations. When a child decides to blame one parent for the demise of their family unit, this is not necessarily the result of the other parent's machinations, though in practice this may be very difficult to ascertain.
A number of other groups question whether PAS is a litigation strategy used to give men an advantage in family court proceedings and that in particular abusive men use it to punish and exert control over their ex-partner. There are concerns that PAS is a legal strategy used to switch custody to men in any situation where the mother expresses justified concern about the father's ability to parent safely and responsibly. Thus it is feared it may lead to the (mis)handling of abuse cases in high conflict custody disputes accomplished with the suggestion that mothers' allegations that fathers have abused their children are false and are thus dismissed with mothers' attempts to protect, or even parent, their own children are pathologized. Use of PAS "threat therapy" has been linked to at least one child's death (Nathan Grieco) and to the punishment of children in mental institutions for reporting abuse [http://www.sfweekly.com/issues/2002-12-18/news/feature.html.
