The DSM-5 Task Force is presently considering whether to adopt parental alienation disorder (PAD) as a mental illness. Although controversy has surrounded PAD since its inception in 1985, pro-PAD groups and individuals have breathed new life into the push to establish it as a mental health diagnosis. In this analysis, we argue that it would be a serious mistake to adopt parental alienation disorder as a formal mental illness in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5).
DSM-5 工作组目前正在考虑是否将父母离异症(PAD)作为一种精神疾病。尽管自 1985 年 PAD 出现以来一直存在争议,但支持 PAD 的团体和个人为将其确立为精神健康诊断标准注入了新的活力。在这项分析中,我们认为,如果将父母离异症作为《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第五版(DSM-5)中的一种正式精神疾病,那将是一个严重的错误。
