Separation, shared confidence and Parental Alienation Syndrome - The law of February 8, 2006 has theoretically sanctioned the principle of parental dichotomy, putting the two parents at the same level; however the Italian judicial system often seems (to represent an optimal field to increase) to sharpen the contrast that it pretends to reduce as solutions (adapted) suitable for single, rather than for the whole family system, are often proposed. The partition of children is a specific case; they sometimes are divided among parents. In such context a particular type of Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) can arise which can be defined as inter-crossed or bilateral. In this work I intend to provide useful information to characterize PAS, although still little is known and studied in Italy, through a review of the existing literature and some suggestions that are the result of my experience in the field, offering a diagnosis of the phenomenon through the observation of minor children and their families’ dynamics.

Un volume “operativo”, un utile strumento di approfondimento e di lavoro per psicologi giuridici e forensi, consulenti tecnici dei Tribunali, psicologi clinici e dei servizi territoriali, operatori sociali. Il testo presenta una rassegna teorico-clinica che, a partire dagli studi di Gardner, definisce il “Disturbo da Alienazione Parentale” (PAD), e spiega gli snodi da indagare e le valutazioni da condurre per identificare se si è di fronte a un caso di PAD.
