How does an alienated child behave?

The behavioral manifestations of a severely alienated child, first described by Richard Gardner in the 1980s, have been confirmed repeatedly since:

1. Campaign of denigration
2. Weak, frivolous, or absurd reasons for the rejection
3. Lack of ambivalence
4. "Independent thinker" phenomenon
5. Reflexive support of the alienating parent
6. Absence of guilt
7. The presence of borrowed scenarios
8. Rejection of extended family and friends of the rejected parent
