Objetivo: atualizar o estado da arte do debate conceitual acerca do tema da alienação parental. Fontes dedados: artigos de revisão, artigos de meta-análise, dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado, em bases de dados, do período de 2015 a 2021. Síntese dos dados: O debate atual se compõe dos elementos acerca da definição do fenômeno da alienação parental; contraposições e objeções ao conceito e implicações do conceito de alienação parental para o profissional de saúde. Essencialmente, trata-se da atitude da criança em passar a rejeitar um genitor ou familiar quando do distanciamento de convívio, seja pelo divórcio, seja por outros motivos. Tal comportameto decorre de uma triangulação de um familiar alienador, do familiar alienado e da criança. Como objeções, há que de diferenciar atos de alienação parental perpetrados pelos adultos do comportamento da criança, pois algumas são mais suscetíveis e outras mais resilientes. Conclusões: houve acirramento recente do debate, pois o termo ‘alienação parental’ vigorou na versão inicial da nova Classificação Internacional de Doenças – CID 11 - mas foi revogado. No entanto, os elementos da alienação parental encontram-se codificados nos códigos relacionados a problemas familiares, de modo que tais questões já não são atinentes somente ao âmbito judicial, mas também aos profissionais de saúde que lidam com crianças.

“…PA has already been acknowledged as a form of domestic violence (Harman et al, 2018; von Boch‐Galhau, 2018); however, not all victims of this abuse have been fully recognized. The findings of this study shed some light on the experience of grandparents involved in PA cases and its complex association with age and aging.…”

Objective This study employs the life course perspective to explore the lived experience of grandparents who have no contact with their grandchildren due to parental alienation (PA). Background PA represents situations in which a child becomes estranged from one parent because of the manipulation of the other parent. The estrangement from the alienated parent leads to and manifests inter alia in denial of contact with the grandparents from the alienated side of the family. It is critical to examine the experiences of grandparents who were denied contact with their grandchildren due to PA to identify these grandparents’ unique needs and facilitate assistance and support. Method Thirteen grandparents aged 63 to 83 years (M = 72 years, SD = 6.52) were interviewed using an interpretive phenomenological analysis approach to analyze their narratives. Findings Participant interviews revealed four superordinate themes: (a) the race against time, (b) disregard of grandparents’ victim status, (c) health and functioning implications of alienation from grandchildren, and (d) reflections on being a grandparent suffering from PA and insights at this stage of life. Conclusions PA‐related estrangement from grandchildren leads to negative outcomes regarding grandparents’ daily functioning, perception, and well‐being. Aging characteristics collide with these outcomes to form an experience unique to grandparents in these vulnerable situations. Implications Practitioners treating older adults require awareness of parental alienation's adverse impact on grandparents to address their specific needs and hardships. Additionally, it is incumbent on the legal system and practitioners involved in PA cases to consider grandparent victimization, allow them to voice their pain, and take their interests into account.

“…Meanwhile, the rate of filings that include PA constructs has increased dramatically during the past 15 years in North America and abroad and continues to spread internationally (Lorandos, 2020; Lorandos & Bernet, 2020; Sheehy & Lapierre, 2020; von Boch‐Galhau, 2018). An increase of cases invoking child custody evaluations signifies the stress, economic, and emotional expense, and potential for ongoing conflict reflected in or engendered by PA‐involved litigation.…”

Parent–child contact problems (PCCP) after separation and divorce are the focus of heated debate in academia and the popular media as to how best to identify, assess and respond to children who resist or refuse time with a parent. Practitioners disagree about the extent to which parental alienation (PA) is a valid and widespread phenomenon versus a legal strategy to counter IPV and child abuse allegations. This study sheds light on prevailing attitudes by surveying the opinions and beliefs of 1049 interdisciplinary family law professionals who deal directly with these matters in practice. These experienced practitioners were confident about their understanding of PCCPs despite little formal instruction on relevant issues. They were less clear about the differentiation between similarly used terms, research evidence, and interventions to address the problems. Emergent themes provide insight into practitioners' beliefs about the harm caused by a parent's alienating behaviors, the extent to which PA is a real phenomenon vs. a litigation strategy, the quality of social science empirical evidence, views of the child in PA cases, and recommended interventions. Responses demonstrate practitioners taking moderate positions that balance competing interests, struggling with ambiguities and contradictions rife in PA cases and PA‐related practice in family law.
