dracodraconisglobeandmail.com: Gender bias evident in parental alienation cases
A Toronto lawyer recently presented a study of 74 parental alienation cases between 1987 and 2008, in which parental alienation was defined as the situation in which "...an estranged parent systematically brainwashes a child into hating the other parent." He discovered the father was the alienater in only 24 cases while the mother was the alienater in the other 50 cases. More than half (13) of the alienating fathers were ordered into therapy while only 12 of the 50 mothers were required to do the same.
