I worry that the legal system will get so caught up in trying to determine whether to call this problem a syndrome or not; whether it should be admissable in court or not; if it is mostly mothers or not; that they will miss the most important piece: The longer this type of behavior goes on, the harder it is to reverse. Years of litigation to finally win custody or more visitation doesn't matter in a child's life. One year is a long time in a child's life, much less 2, 3 or more.
Court-appointed guardians MUST have a psychology background. The people who do the alienating are clever, focused, diligent and great performers. They absolutely know how to manipulate the legal system and influence judgement. And they will stop at nothing to make sure they get what they want.
