Parental alienation is a serious mental condition that affects thousands of children, adolescents, and their families: it occurs where a child, without legitimate justification, allies themself strongly with one parent and rejects a relationship with the other parent. This book explains why the time has come for the concept of parental alienation to be included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V) and the International Classification of Diseases, Eleventh Edition (ICD-11). This book was published as a special issue of the American Journal of Family Therapy.
