"To any who have doubts about the ascendancy of PAS in the public and academic arenas, I invite you to punch in the term on a google search. Over 7,000 citations. On a random search by myself, most of them are highly favourable to the concept and its use in contested custody cases,".

"In 2000, Joan B. Kelly does not mention either Gardner or PAS in her review paper "Children's Adjustment in conflicted Marriage and Divorce: A Decade Review of Research",23 in spite of PAS continuing to be prominent in cases where abuse is alleged and in spite of her methodology being "a review of key empirical studies from 1990 to 1999 regarding the impact of marital conflict, parental violence, and divorce on the psychological adjustment of children, adolescents, and young adults." Neither is it mentioned in her 5 part article for the USA Law Offices.24 I would postulate that Gardner's theories have become so powerful in family courts that he now cannot be ignored,". by Achimovich, Lois.
