“Parental Alienation Syndrome:" Another Alarming DSM-5 Proposal Using a medicalizing label to mask child sexual abuse Published on June 6, 2011 by Paula J. Caplan, Ph.D. in Science Isn't Golden

Conclusion
http://timesupblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/why-official-rejection-of-pas-matters.html
There was never any valid justification to permit the use of PAS by any name in the custody courts. The fraudulent use of PAS has been responsible for destroying the lives of hundreds of thousands of children. This never should have been permitted by the courts, but at the same time the courts are extremely defensive to criticism of their errors and are unlikely to acknowledge past mistakes.

PARENTAL ALIENATION SYNDROME: A PARADIGM FOR CHILD ABUSE IN AUSTRALIAN FAMILY LAW
Australian Institute of Criminology
by E McInnes - Cited by 9 - Related articles
Excerpts see page 4 Starts first paragraph "Parental Alienation Syndrome differs from the concept of ‘parental alienation’ by rescripting children’s disclosures of abuse by a parent as false accusations coached by other parent. That is,PAS begins from the premise that children who allege serious abuse by a parent are lying and that they are made to lie by an apparently protective parent. PAS thus offers violent controlling expartners a pseudo-scientific set of ‘symptoms’ to deny allegations of child abuse and pathologize the alleging child and protective parent. The outcomes of PAS assist child abuse. Indeed Gardner has published statements sympathetic to child sex abuse as a social practice. In 1992, in his book, True and False Accusations of Child Sex Abuse, Gardner argued that pedophilia -- adults having sexual relations with children -- ''is a widespread and accepted practice among literally billions of people.'' While he states that sexual activity with children is ''reprehensible'' and exploitative, he noted in another book, Sex Abuse Hysteria: Salem Witch Trials Revisited, ''What I am against is the excessively moralistic and punitive reaction that many members of our society have toward pedophiles ... (going) far beyond what I consider to be the gravity of the crime.'' The impulse to normalise and support the activities of participants in child sex abuse is an integral component of the paradigm Gardner has created. PAS relies on denying the capacity of children to recognise and articulate their experiences and further denies the child’s right to safety, whilst privileging the rights of the accused parent to enforce a relationship with the child. PAS is a winner with violent parents because (a) it enables the abuser to occupy the role of victim and (b) assists and legitimises their continuing access for abuse.

Abstract:
Since 1985, in jurisdictions all over the United States, fathers have been awarded sole custody of their children based on claims that mothers alienated these children due to a pathological medical syndrome called Parental Alienation Syndrome ("PAS"). Given that some such cases have involved stark outcomes, including murder and suicide, PAS's admissibility in U.S. courts deserves scrutiny.
This article presents the first comprehensive analysis of the science, law, and policy issues involved in PAS's evidentiary admissibility. As a novel scientific theory, PAS's admissibility is governed by a variety of evidentiary gatekeeping standards that seek to protect legal fora from the influence of pseudo-science. This article analyzes every precedent-bearing decision and law review article referencing PAS in the past twenty years, finding that precedent holds PAS inadmissible and the majority of legal scholarship views it negatively. The article further analyzes PAS's admissibility under the standards defined in Frye v. United States, Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Kumho Tire Company v. Carmichael, and Rules 702 and 704(b) of the Federal Rules of Evidence, including analysis of PAS's scientific validity and reliability; concluding that PAS remains an ipse dixit and inadmissible under these standards. The article also analyzes the writings of PAS's originator, child psychiatrist Richard Gardner - including twenty-three peer-reviewed articles and fifty legal decisions he cited in support of his claim that PAS is scientifically valid and legally admissible - finding that these materials support neither PAS's existence, nor its legal admissibility. Finally, the article examines the policy issues raised by PAS's admissibility through an analysis of PAS's roots in Gardner's theory of human sexuality, a theory that views adult-child sexual contact as benign and beneficial to the reproduction of the species.
The article concludes that science, law, and policy all support PAS's present and future inadmissibility.
