→Gardner's Parental Alienation Syndrome
To this list, I would add two more categories:
*'''Distracting:''' The alienating parent sets up oppositional activities, goals, or interests, some that are highly valued by the child but the scheduling of which conflict conflicts with the other parent's time with the child.
*'''Resigning:''' The alienating parent ceases to accept responsibility for the child's time with the other parent, and seems to leave it up to the child to decide whether to go or not go. This forces the child to make the choice to see the other parent, knowing that the alienating parent doesn't want the child to go at all, putting the child in a loyalty conflict.
