"In custody cases with alienation allegations, oversimplified beliefs
about alienation support identifying one parent as a miscreant and levying
supposedly corrective treatments or punishments to change that parent’s
bad behavior. The plausibility and acceptability of oversimplified beliefs,
when presented to a system philosophically primed to accept them, is
enhanced by familiarity with examples of those beliefs (familiarity bias)
that come readily to mind (availability bias),,,
No research study to date has demonstrated that children could be led
to make a fully fleshed-out who/what/when/where/why CSA statement,
replete with idiosyncratic details and precocious sexual knowledge that
was not likely to have come from some identified source other than CSA
(e.g., pornography)."
