This preface highlights the significant need for the current two-part special issue on  Alienation and Reunification Issues in Family Courts  and outlines reasons why these issues continue to be relevant. Unfortunately, there continues to be the same gross misunderstandings by legal professionals, judges, child protection workers, mental health professionals, and child custody evaluators regarding abuse dynamics and the impact of trauma on the individual. These misunderstandings then lead to many family law court cases minimizing or ignoring such issues and inferring parental alienation or similar labels instead. The impact of this on the children and families involved is great, and significant change needs to occur in the various systems involved in family law cases. This preface describes many of the main issues seen regularly in the family court system and highlights the articles included in this two-part special issue. It is hoped that the articles help address the complex issues when children resist contact with a parent, and educate evaluators, investigators, and legal decision-makers to rely on actual evidence, known research and accepted knowledge in family and trauma psychology and child development.
