Parental alienation is the alienation in the relationship between a child and a parent. There can be many causes for parental alienation. When the alienation between a child and a parent is primarily the result of the behavior of the other parent, the parental alienation is sometimes referred to as parental alienation syndrome. Parental alienation can also refer to the behavior by a parent who alienates a child from the other parent.

Studies of PAS-diagnosed children and adults found that mothers were more likely than fathers to be the alienator. According to a Canadian study, mothers are twice as likely as fathers to alienate children from the other parent, and fathers made more than three times as many unsubstantiated claims of parental alienation as mothers. This reflected that claims of parental alienation are typically made by parents seeking more access (mostly fathers), against the parent with the most custody time (typically the mother).
