In a previous issue of this journal, Joan B. Kelly and Janet R. Johnston describe their reformulation of the parental alienation syndrome (PAS). Here, I present areas in which I agree with the authors and areas in which I disagree. Particular focus is placed on these PAS‐related issues: the syndrome question, PAS versus parental alienation, the medical model, custodial transfer, gender bias, DSM‐IV . empirical studies, and the misapplication of PAS.
