Parental Alienation Syndrome.

Don't dismiss a source because the author has a characteristic you don't like. Dismiss a source if they're batshit crazy. I'm sure there are plenty of highly intelligent people who call themselves feminists without understanding what the name means, and you risk dismissing good data because of it.

What does PAS stand for?

There is a documentary that's called "erasing families" that exist and is about this subject. It is also probably possible to find things of interest in Warren Farrell's book "the boy crisis"

I can point you to some studies that show children in divorced families on average do much better on many different types of measures (happiness, grades, physical fitness, etc) when the time with each parent is closer to equal, as opposed to a single parent situation.

I can point you to studies that she that the children who have major problems, on various measures, are much more likely to come from a home without a father.

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for. But there are a large number of studies that allude to the fact that children of divorced family's do better with both parents, which would suggest that intentionally removing one parent (without good reason) is harmful.

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for (I worked with this group some 20 years ago on other topics) but they conclude that alienating one parent is not good for children "Preschool children in joint physical custody have less psychological symptoms than those who live mostly or only with one parent after a separation. In a new study of 3,656 children, researchers from Uppsala University, Karolinska Institutet and the research institute CHESS show that 3-5-year-olds living alternately with their parents after a separation show less behavioural problems and psychological symptoms than those living mostly or only with one of the parents."

Some other research overviews come to the same conclusion. What our so-called courts are doing is certainly harming both fathers and children. you have some of it here
