Parental alienation is a social dynamic, generally occuring due to divorce or separation, when the hostility and negative affect by one parent causes a child to reject the other parent, making access by the rejected parent difficult or impossible. Parental alienation is very controversial in the legal and mental health professions, both in general and in specific situations. Assessment of alienation should distinguish between "pathological alienation" and realistic estrangement; the former is emotionally harmful and unjustified, while the latter is an understandable refusal by a child to see a abusive parent.
