The alienation of a child is part of an abusive strategy of a parent to harm the other parent. The child is weaponized and used against the alienated parent (Harman, Matthewson, et al., 2022; Rowlands, 2023), alienating parents are the parents most likely to have findings of abuse made against them, and they often make false allegations of abuse against the alienated parent to deflect
attention away from their own abusive behavior (Sharples et al., 2023).
