One of the most important steps an alienated parent can do is to be proactive and take corrective measures to help your child through this time of abuse. By all rights, the mental manipulation by the offending parent is a form of emotional and mental child abuse. Unfortunately, not many court systems or judges understand this concept.

A positive step to help your child is to find a reputable, qualified psychologist and initiate counselling for your child. The psychologist needs to be familiar with PAS and know the proper steps in dealing with this abuse.

Many parents will take their child to a counsellor that is available with the best intentions. The majority of counsellors are not qualified to deal with PAS and know little or nothing about the syndrome.

Clinical psychologists that specialize in child development and family issues are better educated in the aspects of PAS. Clinical Psychologists that are also Forensic Psychologists work with lawyers and judges to ensure that children affected by PAS are given the best chance of success.

There is an abundance of information on the web. Here are a few examples of Clinical Psychologist that are also Forensic Psychologist and the work that they do.  Each of these sites provide valuable information and provide an overview of what you would need to look for in a potential therapist for your child who is suffering from PAS.
