Misinformation regarding parental alienation theory has been published many times in journals and books since the 1980s. This article discusses a specific example of misinformation, i.e., variations of the statement: Parental alienation theory assumes that the favored parent has caused parental alienation in the child simply because the child refuses to have a relationship with the rejected parent, without identifying or proving alienating behaviors by the preferred parent. This is an unusual phenomenon, i.e., the same misinformation was found in journal articles, books, and presentations by critics of parental alienation 40 times between 1994 and 2020. This trail of recurrent misinformation is not trivial; it is a major misrepresentation of basic tenets of parental alienation theory. The article concludes with action items, including the proposal that these false statements should be corrected and/or the journal articles should be withdrawn from publication.We live in an era of misinformation. Misleading statements, sloppy scholarship, and outright fraud have occurred in the literature of medicine ("COVID is a hoax."), psychology ("Facilitated communication is a treatment for autism. "), and science ("The Apollo moon landings never occurred, but were staged by NASA."). This article relates a pervasive pattern of misinformation that has occurred in the field of family therapy.Parental alienation (PA) is a mental condition in which a child-usually one whose parents are engaged in a high-conflict separation or divorceallies strongly with one parent (the favored parent) and rejects a relationship with the other parent (the alienated parent) without legitimate justification. The most common cause of PA is the child's indoctrination by the favored parent to dislike or fear the alienated parent (Bernet, 2020a, pp. 5-6). This is a generic definition almost everyone-PA proponents as well as PA critics-recognizes and accepts.
