PAS Proposed for Inclusion in DSM-5

Fathers-rights groups are heavily campaigning to have Parental Alienation Disorder (formerly Parental Alienation Syndrome or PAS) included into the American Psychological Association's (APA) DSM-5 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) The DSM-5 is the mental health professionals main guide for the classification of mental disorders.

As you may know, the DSM is being updated by the APA. Many abusers and their attorneys who use this junk science as a legal strategy are trying to legitimize it. This will only further harm abused women and children as they struggle to get free of their abuser through family court.

Please speak out AGAINST allowing Parental Alienation, now being renamed as Parental Alienation Disorder into the DSM-5. [The mental health profession's bible ]
April 20th, 2010 is the deadline for submitting your comments to APA on this issue.
