Alienação Parental e Convivência Familiar sob a perspectiva dos Direitos de Personalidade

Sandra Inês Feitor | Portugese, 2023

Parental alienation is a highly controversial topic that does not command consensus within the legal and scientific communities. However, regardless of the characterization attributed to it, parental behavior involving negative interference in the maintenance or establishment of bonds—driven by a pursuit of exclusivity in coexistence and affection—is an undeniable reality in many families and, consequently, in the courts, with all the harm this represents to the harmonious development of children and to the protection of their rights and dignity.

Accordingly, this book represents a doctoral research project in Law, always adopting a multidisciplinary and critical approach and reflection on parental alienation and the necessary distinction between related concepts with which it intersects but should not be confused. It also reflects an urgent need to foster critical reflection on judicial practice, with the aim of promoting deeper engagement with the topic and paradigm shifts in how judicial actors address cases of parental alienation, its correct identification, and the multiplicity of possible solutions.
