One of the most common dilemmas encountered in today's family courts is the child who is strongly aligned with Parent A and rejects parent B. In the interest of supporting these children's opportunity to enjoy a healthy relationship with both of their caregivers, one can work to determine which parent is to blame or what combination of parent behavior, relationship dynamics, and practical circumstances result in this outcome. The Five Factor Model (FFM) does the former, promoting a stepwise approach to "diagnosing" parental alienation. This paper demonstrates that for all of its appeal, the FFM is deeply flawed and promotes a binary (good guy/bad guy) approach that readily exacerbates family tensions. We reject the FFM and advocate instead for a balanced conceptualization of the child's larger relationship ecology. A rubric guiding this ecological approach (Garber, in press 2023) is recommended.
