Alienation Syndrome refers to a set of emotional and behavioral symptoms that can occur in children or adults who have experienced rejection, loss, or some other form of separation from their primary caregiver. This may result from divorce, death of a parent, abuse, neglect, or other traumatic experiences.
The syndrome is characterized by feelings of anger, sadness, and loneliness, as well as difficulty forming healthy relationships with others. Individuals experiencing alienation syndrome may also exhibit withdrawal behaviors, such as avoiding social interactions or becoming emotionally distant from those around them.
Treatment for alienation syndrome typically involves therapy and counseling to help individuals process their emotions and work through any unresolved issues related to the separation experience.
