Academic materials
The January 2010 edition of [http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/fcre.2010.48.issue-1/issuetoc ''Family Court Review''], published by the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, is entirely devoted to the issue of alienated and estranged children. If you can get your hands on a copy, you should. ([https://www.courthouselibrary.ca/ Courthouse Libraries BC] can help you with this.) It offers a fairly up-to-date look at current court practices and the latest literature on the subject and was edited by two prominent Canadians, Professor Nick Bala, a law professor at Queen's University, and Dr. Barbara Jo Fidler, a psychologist and mediator based in Toronto.
 
Nick Bala, Barbara Fidler and Michael Saini, a professor of social work at the University of Toronto, are also the authors of ''[https://www.amazon.com/Children-Resist-Postseparation-Parental-Contact/dp/019989549X Children Who Resist Postseparation Parental Contact]'', a 2013 book published by Oxford University Press that provides a really good overview of more recent research and therapeutic and legal responses to children who resist contact after separation. Courthouse Libraries BC can probably help you find this book as well.
The following articles were suggested as recommended readings on child alienation and estrangement by Dr. Joan Kelly at a seminar in Vancouver.
