The spectrum of parental alienation syndrome (part I). American Journal of Forensic Psychology,15 (3), 1-8. Deidre Conway Rand, a forensic psychologist traces the history of what Dr. Richard Gardner termed Parental Alienation Syndrome. Rand states in his article that Gardner coined the term Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) in the mid-80s after over 10 years of working with children in high conflict divorces. Since Gardner's contribution to civil forensics there has been much debate as to the accuracy of PAS. Rand describes the pitfalls and the contributions that have followed Gardner's suggestion of PAS. He summarizes by clarifying that PAS is a developing concept in forensic psychology and the courts are abusing the terminology. Thesis Statement After reading your 10 articles, what is your empirical knowledge of the subject matter, and what conclusion have you formed based on the research you read? State your conclusion/thought in a concise manner and you will have your thesis statement. DO NOT state: The purpose of this paper is to address how Parental Alienation is over used in the courts But instead state: Although Gardner made great contributions to working with children in high conflict divorces; Parental Alienation Syndrome is an overused poorly understood concept.
