The Medea Complex and the Parental Alienation Syndrome

[ElboRuum]

12. No, it isn't. On that you are correct.

As such, the subject probably merits a little discussion. Although a "link toss" without personally commenting doesn't really qualify so much as discussion, I'll deal with what I've been given.

Your first three sources are certainly fodder for conversation. Although, I do believe that that conversation would be rather short lived, as all three paint PAS as a non-existent phenomenon, when I know that in particularly vicious divorces it is not at all unheard of for the parent or parents to attempt poisoning the children against the other parent. I find any suggestion that this action cannot have a lasting effect on a child's emotional well being or contribute to future issues with socialization as an adult quite suspect. Yet that is precisely what these three links suggest.

The fourth link, well, having precisely NOTHING to do with the subject at hand, is quite easily dismissed as shit-stirring pap.

Perhaps, in your more regular haunts, this would be enough to garner your post some attention and a few kudos. Here, not so much.
