Parental Alienation: Understanding, Recognizing and Intervening offers a multidisciplinary analysis of one of the most complex and controversial family dynamics affecting children and parents after separation or divorce. An Amazon #1 category bestseller in its original Italian edition, the book is now available in English for an international audience.
Combining research, practical experience, legal perspectives, and real-life cases, author Mariangela Campus examines the psychological mechanisms that can lead a child to unjustifiably reject one parent under the influence of the other. Drawing on her original RAD Model (Relational Alienation Dynamics), she explores the warning signs, behavioral patterns, and psychological consequences for children, as well as the challenges faced by courts, mental health professionals, and families.
The book also addresses intervention strategies and prevention, emphasizing the protection of children's emotional well-being while maintaining scientific rigor and respecting legal safeguards.
Intended for parents, psychologists, lawyers, judges, social workers, researchers and students, this volume provides practical tools and evidence-based reflections for understanding and addressing parental alienation in contemporary society.
