PasKids.com Parental Alienation Syndrome. What is Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS)? This is the definition of PAS as described by R.A. Gardner who discovered the syndrome and has become an expert in dealing with the issue. Gardner's definition of PAS is: "The parental alienation syndrome (PAS) is a disorder that arises primarily in the context of child-custody disputes. Its primary manifestation is the child's campaign of denigration against a parent, a campaign that has no justification. It results from the combination of a programming (brainwashing) parent's indoctrinations and the child's own contributions to the vilification of the target parent."
