It gets very hard to explain. There is a subset of specific lawyers where their whole entire primary income and practice is based on the use of parental alienation. There's about a handful of lawyers in Ontario who use PA regularly and they use the same therapists. They've been using the same therapists for, I don't know, over 10 years. I also don't think there are therapists who have proven any sort of success with regard to their practice. There's no research or longitudinal studies that support this having been successful.
The challenge is also that there is case law that supports using these therapists, using these practices, so it gains credibility and it gains strength in family court. However, there is not case law that supports or demonstrates the actual reality and the devastation that occurs because of such orders.
