More Disinformation on PAS

Even as the concept of Parental Alienation Syndrome becomes more accepted and more familiar, anti-PAS forces grow more dismissive.  Just in the past couple of weeks we've seen writers who are mostly ignorant of the subject sniff at PAS as a "discredited, pseudoscientific malady."

This piece out of the Globe and Mail is another example (The Globe and Mail, 2/14/09).  The writer belittles PAS and wants her readers to believe that if the custodial parent fails to "ensure the quality of (the) relationship" between the child and the non-custodial parent, parental alienation will be found by the court.  Needless to say, that's not what PAS is about.  The argument is a strawman, more disinformation about PAS.

Interestingly enough, the comments to the article are far more informative than the article itself.  I hope Tabatha Southey reads them.  She might learn something.
