Abstract (AI)
Cases in which a child is resisting contact with a parent may or may not fit Gardner's theory of Parental Alienation Syndrome, which emphasizes the psychopathology of the “alienating” parent. Explanations may also include the child's coping with intense conflict and the “rejected” parent's skill with the child Whatever the cause, improvement usually involves legal and therapeutic intervention.
Key Findings

Alternative explanations include the child's coping with intense parental conflict and the rejected parent's interaction skills.
2
Gardner's theory emphasizes psychopathology of the 'alienating' parent as one explanation for child resistance.
3
Not all child resistance to parental contact conforms to Gardner's Parental Alienation Syndrome framework.
