Il presente lavoro di tesi mostra unanalisi critica sul tema dellalienazione parentale, (PAS, Parental Alienation Syndrome), termine coniato per la prima volta nel 1985, presente in determinate situazioni specifiche. Tale processo relazionale, si riversa sullintera famiglia intrecciando il ruolo di un genitore (definito alienante), che inizia una vera e propria campagna denigratoria verso laltro coniuge (definito alienato), influenzando cosi il figlio che comincia ad odiare completamente il genitore alienato. Da unaccurata analisi della letteratura, si è potuto notare, come incredibilmente il ruolo del bambino non venga assolutamente trattato, infatti non sono presenti approfondimenti sulle caratteristiche psicologiche di questultimo. A questo proposito nel primo capitolo oltre a porre laccento sulla definizione e sulle caratteristiche della AP, è stata citata limportante ricerca italiana condotta da Anna Lubrano Lavadera, Stefano Ferracuti e Marisa Malagoli Togliatti, pubblicata nel 2012, sull International Journal of Law and Psychiatry, nella quale gli autori hanno tirato in causa il ruolo del Falso sé di Winnicott. Nel secondo capitolo, invece, verrà trattato il ruolo della neurodiversità e la sua influenza sui disturbi del neurosviluppo con un focus specifico sullepidemiologia e su due disturbi in particolare: Spettro autistico e Sindrome di Asperger. Nel terzo capitolo, si riprenderà la ricerca di Lavadera et al., approfondendo il ruolo del falso sé di Winnicott e la presenza nel bambino di determinate caratteristiche congenite che rimandano ai disturbi del neurosviluppo; infine il quarto ed ultimo capitolo sarà dedicato alla presentazione di un primo studio pilota che raccoglie alcuni casi clinici, certificati come AP, e contenenti delle caratteristiche che sono state tenute in considerazione ai fini della ricerca.

Abstract
The present thesis work shows a critical analysis on the subject of parental alienation (PAS, Parental Alienation Syndrome), a term coined for the first time in 1985, present in certain specific situations. This relational process spills over the entire family by intertwining the role of a parent (defined as alienating), who starts a real smear campaign against the other spouse (defined alienated), thus influencing the child who begins to completely hate the parent alienated. From a careful analysis of the literature, it has been noted, how incredibly the child's role is not treated at all, in fact there are no insights on the psychological characteristics of the latter. In this regard, in the first chapter, in addition to emphasizing the definition and characteristics of the AP, the important Italian research conducted by Anna Lubrano Lavadera, Stefano Ferracuti and Marisa Malagoli Togliatti, published in 2012, in the International Journal of Law and Psychiatry, in which the authors have called into question the role of Winnicott's False Self. In the second chapter, instead, the role of neurodiversity and its influence on neurodevelopmental disorders with a specific focus on epidemiology and on two disorders in particular will be discussed: Autistic Spectrum and Asperger's Syndrome. In the third chapter, the research by Lavadera et al. Will be resumed, exploring the role of Winnicott's false self and the presence in the child of certain congenital features that refer to neurodevelopmental disorders; finally, the fourth and final chapter will be devoted to the presentation of a first pilot study that collects some clinical cases, certified as AP, and containing the characteristics that have been taken into consideration for research purposes.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
