ABSTRACT Parental alienation (syndrome) is a controversial issue, criticized by experts in different fields. However, this concept is often used by professionals and is frequently cited in courtrooms. This qualitative study focuses on parental alienation and explores women’s experiences as well as legal and social services’ practices in child custody cases. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with separated mothers who were victims of intimate partner violence, and with social workers and psychologists/psychiatrists designated by courts to evaluate parenting skills. Expert reports, psychological assessments and legal documents were also analysed. Results show that professionals endorsed parental alienation and considered it a ‘feminine problem’. Women were often blamed and labeled as ‘engaging in parental alienation’ when they were trying to ensure their children’s safety. Children’s accounts were interpreted as being a result of their mothers’ manipulation. In contrast, fathers were treated as victims of vindictive women who want to keep children to themselves. Men’s violent behaviours were not considered, and their role as fathers was seen as ‘inviolable’. These practices seem to reflect the ‘good-enough father’ approach, according to which the presence of the father is essential for children’s development, regardless of his violent behaviours.

儿童监护权案件中的父母异化(综合症):幸存者的经历以及意大利社会心理和法律服务的逻辑

摘要 父母异化(综合症)是一个有争议的问题,受到不同领域专家的批评。然而,这个概念经常被专业人士使用,并经常在法庭上被引用。这项定性研究侧重于父母疏远,并探讨了妇女在儿童监护权案件中的经历以及法律和社会服务的做法。对作为亲密伴侣暴力受害者的分居母亲以及法院指定的社会工作者和心理学家/精神病学家进行了半结构化访谈,以评估育儿技巧。还分析了专家报告、心理评估和法律文件。结果表明,专业人士认可父母疏远,并认为这是一个“女性问题”。女性在努力确保孩子的安全时,经常被指责并贴上“疏远父母”的标签。孩子们的叙述被解释为他们的母亲操纵的结果。相比之下,父亲被视为报复性女性的受害者,她们想把孩子留给自己。男性的暴力行为没有被考虑,他们作为父亲的角色被视为“不可侵犯”。这些做法似乎反映了“足够好父亲”的方法,根据该方法,无论父亲的暴力行为如何,父亲的存在对于儿童的发展都是必不可少的。男性的暴力行为没有被考虑,他们作为父亲的角色被视为“不可侵犯”。这些做法似乎反映了“足够好父亲”的方法,根据该方法,无论父亲的暴力行为如何,父亲的存在对于儿童的发展都是必不可少的。男性的暴力行为没有被考虑,他们作为父亲的角色被视为“不可侵犯”。这些做法似乎反映了“足够好父亲”的方法,根据该方法,无论父亲的暴力行为如何,父亲的存在对于儿童的发展都是必不可少的。
