The Zero Sum Game Of Parental Alienation

By Traci L. Slatton

This is the time of year when families draw together, but some parents don’t get to experience that, despite longing for it fiercely. I’ve written before about parental alienation, about the pain and suffering endured by parents whose children have been alienated from them through the other parent’s tactics, usually in a high conflict divorce.

Since my initial posting, more media attention has shed light on this devastating phenomenon. Jennifer Harman, a researching social psychologist, associate professor of psychology at Colorado State University, and co-author of Parents Acting Badly (Harman, Jennifer Jill., and Zeynep Biringnen. Parents Acting Badly: How Institutions and Societies Promote the Alienation of Children from Their Loving Families. San Bernardino, CA: CreateSpace, 2016.), gave a terrific TEDx Talk about parental alienation, highlighting it as a domestic abuse and social justice issue.
