«Testimony by an expert knowledgeable about the strategies that parents use to promulgate and
support alienation, the extent to which
children can be manipulated to reject and denigrate a parent, the extent to which
children are suggestible, the mechanics
of stereotype induction, and the psychological damage associated with involving
children in parental hostilities, may assist the court in determining the
proper amount of weight to give a
child's explicitly stated preferences and statements regarding each parent.
