Abstract

Parental Alienation is a phenomenon that has been observed associated with highly conflicting divorces.
The present study investigated the personality structure traits of fathers and mothers involved in this
phenomenon. A qualitative-exploratory approach was used together with a multiple case study procedure.
Structured and semi-structured interviews were performed, along with the application of the Rorschach
Method by means of the comprehensive system. Results indicated the presence of primitive defenses,
intense separation anxiety and predominance of symbiotic bonding, difficulty of discrimination and
inadequate perception of others.
