ALIENACIÓN PARENTAL: UNA REVISIÓN SISTEMÁTICA DE LA LITERATURA BASADA EN EVIDENCIA PUBLICADA EN IDIOMA ESPAÑOL

Abstract

A systematic literature review about parental alienation published in Spanish language was conducted, in order to provide a state of art of this phenomenon and suggest further recommendations for future research. Following the PRISMA-P protocol, the academic data bases Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, EBSCOHost, Science Direct, PsyINFO, Scopus, Scielo, Latindex y Redalyc were systematically searched for a three months period. Four articles were included in this review reporting evidence-based studies on parental alienation in Spanish speaking countries. Despite the scarce number of articles, valuable information published in Spanish language about parental alienation was obtained, which is similar to that published in English. This review showed that research published in Spanish is sparse and more studies are needed in order to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon in Spanish speaking countries.
