Without evidence to allow a
conclusion one way or another, and with limited inconsistent language in
his report about being unable to make predictions or determinations of
past events, it appears that Nelson's report was the result of confirmatory
bias that the allegations likely were the result of the Mother's false beliefs
as a result of her having been subjected to sex abuse herself as a child.
His report indicates pervasive gender (anti-mother or pro-father) bias or
ignorance, and also that he clearly liked the father better as a person,
which is unrelated to parenting.

QUOTES FROM CUSTODY EVALUATION:
"Certain forms of contact, the most obvious being some form of penetration would be painful and typically would be experienced as traumatic, but licking and other forms of contact might be perceived by young child as pleasurable or as silly rather than horrible. Where no pain or discomfort is involved, what makes various types of sexual contact traumatic is the meaning to the child and emotional significance of the act. When a child is too young to understand what has occurred trauma is not likely to be experienced."http://www.thelizlibrary.org/therapeutic-jurisprudence/nelson.txt

Conclusion
PAS is an unproven theory that can threaten the integrity of the criminal justice system and the safety of abused children. Prosecutors should educate themselves about PAS and be prepared to argue against its admission in court. In cases where PAS testimony is admitted, it is a prosecutor’s responsibility to educate the judge and jury about the shortfalls of this theory. As more criminal courts refuse to admit PAS evidence, more protection will be afforded to victims of sexual abuse in our court system.http://www.ndaa.org/ncpca_update_v16_no7.html

INTRODUCTION
The Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) is a controversial theory which has had a profound influence on how child custody cases are handled by the legal system. PAS is based on the assumption that if a child rejects their father, the most likely cause of the alienation is the mother. Treatment involves separating the child from their mother, and punishing them both until the child cooperates with visitation. Richard A. Gardner, M.D., a clinical professor of child psychiatry at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University , is the founder and main proponent of this theory.http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/1/res/dallam/3.html

The Danger of Pedophilia Preying on America's Innocent http://www.truthmagazine.com/archives/volume44/V44020307.htm
Excerpts " Psychiatry and Psychology Experts. Pedophiles looking to find some “expert” to condone their behavior as “normal” will often turn to the institutions of psychiatry and psychology. For example, many pedophiles refer to a 1998 article by the American Psychological Association (APA) claiming that sex between adults and children can actually be positive for “willing” children. The same article proposes that we drop the terms “child abuse,” “molestation,” “victims” and “adult-child sex” when discussing this issue. This article was later modified by the APA, but many pedophiles continue to appeal to it to promote their actions. One psychologist, Dr. Michael Werthmeimer (member of the APA), believes that pedophilia is not harmful to the child. Dr. Richard Gardner, a child psychiatrist at Columbia University, believes that all forms of deviant sexual behavior should be acceptable, including adult-child sex, sex with the dead, sex with animals, and even sex with defecation. Of course, pedophiles make it a point to interview and quote from “experts” like Werthmeimer and Gardner.11" http://www.truthmagazine.com/archives/volume44/V44020307.htm

Posted: 04/27/09 Child Custody: After the Sexual Revolution By Judith Reisman - See more
Excerpts " This seemingly irate faction has used "experts" like Drs. Richard Gardner, Ralph Underwager, and Warren Farrell, all three pedophile and incest advocates. Kinsey disciple Gardner said incest was an unsexy mom's fault, Underwager praised pedophiles in the Dutch Paidika, Journal of Paedophila, and Farrell touted "Incest ….The Last Taboo," in Penthouse December 1977.
Gardner, (deceased) created the "Parental Alienation Syndrome," rejected by the Family Research Council along with the National Organization of Women, the American Psychiatric Association, the National Association for the Prosecution of Child Abuse, and the American Judges Association. Unfortunately the PAS claim that mothers who report incest are frigid and jealous is still cited by courts and social services in granting child custody to certified abusers.
Such child custody horrors reflect a sexually libertine society. The continued collapse of chastity and monogamy dictates the growth of a sexually virulent society that exploits children and women absent the fear of morally empowered male protectors. For societal evil to flourish and prosper, males, especially brave, morally honorable fathers, are the first line of attack.
Male and female judges who award children to sexually abusive parents are complicit in abuse, in effect trafficking in children. Unless and until the public learns how and why we were lied to by our sexual revolutionaries, we will continue to lose our marriages; fathers will continue to be made impotent by sexual deviance, mothers will continue to seek to be sexy instead of sagacious, and we will continue to lose the civil society that formally offered children largely free, and even safe and happy lives."

Comparison of Gardner 's Views with Those of NAMBLA
The North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) is a political, civil rights and educational organization that advocates sex between adult males and male children. Mary De Young (1989), associate professor of sociology at Grand Valley State University , outlined the arguments used by NAMBLA to justify, normalize, and/or rationalize sex between adults and children. NAMBLA members were found to utilize four major strategies: denial of injury; condemnation of the condemners; appeal to higher loyalties; and denial of the victim. Although literature by NAMBLA is not cited by Gardner , similar strategies are mirrored throughout his writings (See Figure 1).

[excerpt] When a parent harms his or her own child, family courts are supposed to step in and safeguard the victim.
Can you imagine what a tragedy it would be if courts awarded custody to the wrong parent – the abuser?
Actually, according to one conservative estimate, more than 58,000 children per year are ordered by family courts into unsupervised contact with physically or sexually abusive parents following divorce in the United States.
The fact that this type of scandal is taking place in the American justice system defies the imagination. Not since the Roman Catholic Church pedophile scandal has the US seen this level of institutional harm inflicted on innocent children.

Use of Inappropriate Syndrome Testimony http://kspope.com/ethics/malpractice.php
As early as September of 1989 Dr. Gary Melton and Susan Limber in an article entitled "Psychologists' Involvement in Cases of Child Maltreatment" [American Psychologist Vol. 44, No. 9, pp. 1225-1233] commented on the inappropriate use by therapists of syndromes that are not found in the various versions of Diagnosis and Statistical Manual. There have been a proliferation of such syndromes over the last several years. At this point using syndromes which are not appropriately researched or acknowledged by the profession is below the standard of care. Among the syndromes which are controversial and which should not be represented as accepted in the therapist community are Child Sexual Abuse Accommodation Syndrome, Parental Alienation Syndrome, [Wiederholt v. Fischer 169 WIS 2d 524, 45 N.W. 2d 442 (1992)], False Memory Syndrome, and Malicious Mother Syndrome. http://kspope.com/ethics/malpractice.php

Revisiting Parental Alienation Syndrome — Scientific Questions ...
www.socialworktoday.com/archive/092109p26.shtmlParental alienation syndrome (PAS) is a theory that has been the subject of much ...LISW, an associate professor in the social work department at Minnesota ...“As social workers, we need to educate the legal professionals we come into contact with—lawyers and judges and custody evaluators—about the weakness of PAS and similar models explaining what’s going on when children don’t want to have contact with a parent,” says Edleson.Brown cites efforts such as states in which PAS has already been evaluated as an invalid diagnosis that is inadmissible in court, which is included in judges’ training. But even those efforts have their limits. The turnover rate of legal professionals, as well as mental health professionals, in family and domestic violence court is very high. “Judges rotate,” he explains. “Judges also need to be reminded; the system needs to be reminded.”Brown admits that there’s a sense in which mental health professionals who decide to take a stand against PAS in the courtroom may have the deck stacked against them. “Clinicians are not trained to deal with the courts,” he says. “Unless you work in an internship that deals explicitly with the court system, no one trains you how to deal with judges. But other professionals who are promoting PAS in the courts, they know how to work with the judges. They know how to play the game and are completely invested. It’s difficult to be a proponent against it.”— David Surface is a freelance writer and editor based in Brooklyn, NY. He is a frequent contributor to Social Work Today.Published February 23, 2007
The Truth About Parental Alienation
by Irene WeiserThe truth about parental alienation, custody and abuse.
Proponents of Parental Alienation portray parental alienation as a destructive family dynamic, usually manifesting during custody battles, in which one parent purportedly turns the child’s sentiments against the other parent. Failure to recognize and correct this dynamic by ensuring that the child has a relationship with both parents, they claim, will cause great harm to the child.
Indeed, nothing can be further from the truth. Parental Alienation is a discredited, pseudo-psychological theory whose application in custody determinations has caused great harm to children.
Background
Parental Alienation Syndrome was first described in 1985 by the pro-pedophilia psychiatrist Richard Gardner, at a time when the epidemic of child sexual abuse in our country was first being recognized.
Gardner defines PAS as follows:
The parental alienation syndrome (PAS) is a disorder that arises primarily in the context of child custody disputes. Its primary manifestation is the child's campaign of denigration against a parent, a campaign that has no justification. It results from the combination of a programming (brainwashing) parent's indoctrinations and the child's own contributions to the vilification of the target parent . . .
Gardner proposed that most allegations of child sexual abuse in custody proceedings were false – that a bitter or vindictive parent had planted such suggestions into the child to turn the child against, or alienate the child from, the other parent. The remedy, Gardner held, was to punish the accusing parent and award custody to the parent the child rejected.
There is no empirical evidence for the existence of PAS , Gardner’s theory has not undergone peer review, and PAS has never been accepted by the American Psychiatric Association for inclusion as a clinical diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Nonetheless, the theory of PAS has been increasingly relied upon in family courts and its logic extended to apply not only to situations where child sexual abuse was alleged, but to any allegations of family violence.
Tragic Consequences
The results of its acceptance in family court have been tragic.
Parental Alienation fails to recognize that a parent or child may have legitimate reasons for having antipathy toward the other parent; it rejects out of hand the idea that allegations of abuse could be true. Thus, instead of investigating allegations of abuse, PAS turns the focus of the court’s investigation onto the motives of accuser. Evidence of animosity toward the other parent is regarded as evidence of PAS. As a result of this "through-the-looking-glass" thinking, when courts award visitation or custody to the parent the child has an aversion to, in many instances, the courts are awarding custody to abusers.
Some children placed in the custody of their abusers have committed suicide; others have run away, and countless others have endured the abuse and are permanently traumatized.. In recent years, children placed in custody of their abusers have beencoming forward to tell their stories and to warn of the harms of PAS.
PAS Discredited in Mental Health and Legal Communities
This past year (2006) the American Bar Association’s Children’s Legal Rights Journalpublished an article that undertook a comprehensive analysis of the scientific, legal and policy issues involved in the evidentiary admissibility of Parental Alienation Syndrome, and found that there was no support for its use.
“PAS’s twenty-year run in American courts is an embarrassing chapter in the history of evidentiary law. It reflects the wholesale failure of legal professionals entrusted with evidentiary gatekeeping intended to guard legal processes from the taint of pseudo-science…. As a matter of science, law, and policy PAS should remain inadmissible in American courts.”
Jennifer Hoult Esq, The Evidentiary Admissibility of Parental Alienation Syndrome: Science, Law, and Policy, 26 Child. Legal Rts J. 1 (2006).
Also this past year, the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges published a judges bench book that also found no scientific or legal basis for admission of parental alienation. Further, it cautioned:
The discredited "diagnosis" of "PAS" (or allegation of "parental alienation"), quite apart from its scientific invalidity, inappropriately asks the court to assume that the children's behaviors and attitudes toward the parent who claims to be "alienated" have no grounding in reality. It also diverts attention away from the behaviors of the abusive parent, who may have directly influenced the children's responses by acting in violent, disrespectful, intimidating, humiliating and/or discrediting ways toward the children themselves, or the children's other parent.
Navigating Custody & Visitation Evaluations in Cases with Domestic Violence: A Judge’s Guide, 2006, pg 24)
In 2003, the National District Attorneys Association’s National Center for Prosecution of Child Abuse stated that
Although PAS may be hailed as a "syndrome" . . . in fact it is the product of anecdotal evidence gathered from Dr. Gardner's own practice. [...] PAS is based primarily upon two notions, neither of which has a foundation in empirical research. […] PAS is an untested theory that, unchallenged, can have far-reaching consequences for children seeking protection and legal vindication in courts of law.”
And the 1996 Report of the American Psychological Association Presidential Task Force on Violence and the Family states that
Although there are no data to support the phenomenon called parental alienation syndrome, in which mothers are blamed for interfering with their children's attachment to their fathers, the term is still used by some evaluators and courts to discount children's fears in hostile and psychologically abusive situations.[pg 40] Family courts often do not consider the history of violence between the parents in making custody and visitation decisions. . . . Psychological evaluators not trained in domestic violence may contribute to this process by ignoring or minimizing the violence and by giving inappropriate pathological labels to women's responses to chronic victimization. Terms such as "parental alienation" may be used to blame the women for the children's reasonable fear of or anger toward their violent father. [pg 100]
Statistics
Multiple studies confirm the grim reality that at least 70% of contested custody disputes involve domestic violence. Further, there is considerable overlap between domestic violence, child abuse and incest. Multiple studies show that the majority of men who abuse their wives or girlfriends also abuse the children. At least half of incest perpetrators also committed domestic violence, and daughters of batterers are 6.5 times more likely than other girls to be victims of incest.
Conclusion
It is time for law guardians, evaluators and judges to stop believing in the myth of Parental Alienation, and instead investigate the abuse that protective parents and children allege.© 2007
