Abstract

ABSTRACT “Parental alienation syndrome” (PAS) is a phrase first coined by Dr. Richard Gardner. Since its inception several scholars have reviewed and criticized this construct, and it has never been accepted by the scientific community as a legitimate scientific construct, as a syndrome or as a mental disorder. Despite its general rejection as unscientific, the construct of PAS at times continues to be used in legal settings as if it has an adequate foundation within science, clinical, or forensic practice. This commentary briefly reviews past critiques of PAS and describes several additional problems that have occurred with the use of this construct.

父母疏离综合症的有效性检验

“父母疏离综合征”(parent alienation syndrome, PAS)是由理查德·加德纳博士首先提出的一个术语。从一开始，一些学者就对这一概念进行了审查和批评，但它从未被科学界接受为一种合法的科学概念，作为一种综合征或精神障碍。尽管它被普遍认为是不科学的，但PAS的结构有时继续在法律环境中使用，好像它在科学、临床或法医实践中有充分的基础。这篇评论简要回顾了过去对PAS的批评，并描述了使用该结构时出现的几个其他问题。
