La falta de validación científica del Síndrome de Alienación Parental y su utilización en el Derecho Uruguayo.

The article analyzes the concept of Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) and its use in the legal system of Uruguay. Although legal science validates this concept, there is no consensus in the medical sciences regarding its scientific rigor. In Uruguay, the Faculty of Psychology of the University of the Republic, the Institute of the Child and Adolescent, and the General Prosecutor's Office have declared that PAS is not scientifically validated. The article examines national jurisprudence and shows how some cases recognize the lack of scientific basis of PAS, while in other cases it is used as evidentiary argument.
