According to Dr. Douglas Darnall,
(www.parentalalienation.org),
there is no cure for severe parental alienation. It is absolutely essential that it be
stopped before it gets to that point. Other professionals have had some success in
treating severe PAS through a change of custody and complete isolation from the
alienating parent, but you will have a hard time convincing the courts that is what the
child needs.
The most effective way to deal with PAS is to maintain frequent contact with the
child(ren) and make sure you express your love on a continual basis. Make sure your
time with the child(ren) is quality time. When the child is secure in their relationship with
you, then the other parent cannot so easily sabotage that relationship. It is also
absolutely essential that you carefully
DOCUMENT everything so that,
if/when you have to go to court, you can demonstrate a pattern of behavior that is not
in the child's best interest.

PAS Archive.
