While most mental health professionals who work in the area of divorce would describe some familiarity with Parental Alienation and Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS), it is important to understand that this is a very specialized field and requires different evaluative techniques and tools than if Parental Alienation (PA) were not present. If the evaluator is not intimately familiar with the nuances of this phenomenon, it is likely that this condition will be misdiagnosed and mistreated. This need for understanding exactly how and why PA and PAS occur is also necessary for other professionals in order to deal with PA and PAS properly.
