Vol. 2  Dr. Abe Worenklein "What Causes A Parent to Alienate?"
 
Parental Alienation is a form of child abuse in which one parent, the "alienating" parent uses the child as a weapon against the other or "target" parent. Through subtle and sometimes not so subtle methods of brainwashing, the alienating parent indoctrinates the child with hatred toward the target parent until the child him or herself assumes all responsibility for the child’s campaign of denigration against the target parent.
 
So, what causes a parent to initiate the alienation? What can you look for as warning signs? In this report from the Canadian Symposium For Parental Alienation Syndrome, Dr. Worenklein decribes some common scenarios in which one parent might take on the role of alienator.
