3. How do psychosocial factors like parental alienation and custody-related conflict impact child custody mediation outcomes and interventions?

This theme examines the roles of complex family dynamics, such as parental alienation syndrome (PAS), coercive gatekeeping, and contested narratives, and their implications for mediation effectiveness and intervention strategies. It involves assessing how these factors disrupt parent-child relationships, complicate custody decisions, and necessitate specialized mediator and legal responses to protect children's welfare.

Key finding: This article articulates the challenges PAS presents within child custody mediation by describing its effects on children’s alignment with one parent against the other. It proposes a mediator intervention model focusing on... Read more
