A kidnapped mind: a mother's heartbreaking story of parental alienation syndrome

This is a heart-wrenching story by a mother grieving for her son and the introduction of a new and little-known syndrome, Parental Alientation Syndrome, identified in 1985 by Dr. Richard Gardener. PAS is a disorder primarily arising in the context of child-custody disputes and combines a parent's indoctrinations with the child's own contributions to the vilification of the target parent.
