Excerpts: from Reformulation of Parental Alienation section page 5

 

Starting line 1 "When I presented a similar paper on behalf of the Child Protection Forum of the Family Court of WA, a group set up because of concerns about the way the abuse allegations were being dealt with in that court, I was informed publicly and privately that PAS was no longer an issue and it hadn,t been used in any recent decisions in the FCWA. And this is true - in perth. What is also true however is that the rheotoric of PAS is clearly present in evidentiary discourse, as recent cases, as well as appeals show. Terms like severe alienation, brain-washing, coaching, vilification of the other parent and enmeshment are common.,". Achimovich, Lois. (2003).
