“Parental Alienation Syndrome:" Another Alarming DSM-5 Proposal

Using a medicalizing label to mask child sexual abuse

On June 9, 2011, I was one of three recipients of a letter from DSM-5 Task Force Chair David Kupfer and DSM-5 Task Force Public Representative James McNulty (see my earlier essays on this site about the conference call with them in which I was a minor participant). Kupfer and McNulty said that their letter was in response to a list of questions we had sent in the hope that they could be discussed during our conference call many weeks ago. The news in their letter is that: "...because of the high evidence threshold required, the Task Force is not currently recommending the inclusion of Parental Alienation Syndrome." This is a stunning comment, coming as it does from the heads of a manual in which so many diagnostic categories have been included despite there being no solid scientific evidence even supporting their existence or characteristics. Based on other kinds of decisions the DSM-5 people have been making, it seems unlikely that concern about the lack of scientific evidence is the real reason they have chosen to exclude it. One wonders what might be.

Y si el Síndrome de Alienación Parental no es reconocido como algo serio por los científicos, ¿cambiará ahora de negocio el señor José Manuel Aguilar Cuenca? ¿Quizá inventará él alguna otra fórmula para continuar vendiendo informes a miles de euros cada uno a personas que luchan por la custodia de sus hijos? ¿O quizá el señor Aguilar Cuenca decida que ya manipuló bastante en los juzgados?
¡ Quién sabe !
Este José Manuel Aguilar Cuenca es un sujeto con demasiada ambición para retirarse de un negocio tan lucrativo como es el de los informes diagnosticando SAP. El SAP le ha dado ya muchos miles de euros a Aguilar y no creo que esté dispuesto a renunciar a una actividad tan lucrativa, el SAP está ayudando a muchos pedófilos y maltratadores a luchar en los juzgados, apoyados con informes como los que emite Aguilar Cuenca.
