The purpose of the study is to better understand the lived experience of parental targeting and the role intergenerational patterns of marital discord and social structure play in the formation of parental alienating behaviors.
This study will also explore the effect of alienating behaviors on the relational well-being of targeted parents.
If you have any questions about the study I can be reached at 317-760-0604 or by email at twalters13@liberty.edu. Thank you for your time and consideration.
