Parental alienation has been studied for more than 30 years mainly by psychologists and psychiatrists and its pathologies are well understood. However, until now there has been little social science research into the social experience of parental alienation.
The phenomenon of parental alienation is considered to be a growing and poorly understood social presentation, in contrast to issues such as family violence. As a consequence, it is suggested that family members involved in contexts of parental alienation have particular social experiences that may reveal to society the nature of the social adversity parental alienation causes and create a new way for society to understand this phenomenon.
It is time to develop a social discourse about parental alienation and to address the manner in which society and its structures enable alienation and the attendant injustices and oppression caused by parental alienation. The social and cultural dimensions of parental alienation need to be defined in which parental alienation exhibits its own unique phenomenology alongside its medical pathology.
Ethics approval has now been obtained from the University of the Sunshine Coast to undertake research in partial fulfillment of the requirements of a social science Ph.D. into the social impact and social experience of parental alienation.

Hi Stan – I am happy to see your research project under way. We definitely need more community education about this horrible phenomenon. But even more, we need research into, and community education about the seldom talked-about alienation of parents by ADULT children who exclude their parents and siblings from their lives leading to the excluded parents then having no relationship not only with the adult child, but also, with grandchildren. And particularly, their needs to be research and community education about these ADULT children who have excluded their parents from their lives where the alienating adult child is the victim of false memories/recovered memories which cause them to believe their parents have acted so egregiously during their childhood that they label their (innocent) parents as being so evil and toxic that they must be “shunned” and banished forever from their lives.
