Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) has been defined as a pathological medical syndrome manifested by a child's unjustifiable "campaign of denigration against a parent" that results from the "programming (brainwashing) parent's indoctrinations and the child's own contributions to the vilification of the target parent." It is a highly controversial and contested theory. The syndrome is not listed in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) as a psychiatric disorder and is not recognized as a valid medical syndrome by the American Medical Association, or the American Psychological Association.
