The previous episodes built the theoretical, historical, and methodological foundation. This episode is where the contemporary empirical literature is laid on top of that foundation. Here we reframe the question: does parental alienation exist? The debate is not whether PA exists but whether institutions are willing to use the evidence; the prevalence literature — Harman and colleagues; the survivor literature — Baker; the reformulation literature — Kelly and Johnston; the nosology literature — Bernet and the ICD-11; international legal and legislative recognition; the implication — what all of this means for practitioners and for parents.
