Parental alienation occurs when a child aligns with one parent and unjustifiably rejects the other as a result of parental alienating behaviors. This article provides an overview of current research and theory regarding the losses alienated children endure. Parental alienating behaviors alter the child's beliefs, perceptions, and memories of the alienated parent, triggering a cascade of profound losses for the child. These losses include loss of individual self, childhood experiences, extended family, community, and activities and relationships essential for healthy development. Consequently, alienated children often experience ongoing and ambiguous losses and thereby suffer disenfranchised grief in isolation.
当孩子因父母的疏离行为而与一方父母结盟并毫无理由地拒绝另一方时,就会发生父母疏离。本文概述了当前关于被疏离孩子所遭受损失的研究和理论。父母的疏离行为会改变孩子对被疏离父母的信念、认知和记忆,给孩子带来一系列深刻的损失。这些损失包括个体自我的丧失、童年经历、大家庭、社区以及对健康发展至关重要的活动和关系。因此,被疏离的孩子常常经历持续且不明确的损失,从而独自承受被剥夺的悲伤。
