The International Handbook of Parental Alienation Syndrome
by Gardner, Sauber, and Lorandos, has become the standard reference work for PAS. The International Handbook features clinical, legal, and research perspectives from 32 contributors from eight countries.
The Handbook examines the effects of PAS on both parents and children and includes new material on incidence, gender, and false accusations of abuse.
The Handbook also touches heavily on the legal aspects of PAS in American law, including criticism of PAS in courts of law, the fundamental rights of children, international PAS abductions, and the legal requirements for expert testimony.

Benchbook in the Behavioral Sciences
by Lorandos and Campbell, provides immediate access to authoritative information and immediate decision-making tools for judges and attorneys.

However, recent research indicates court personnel have little understanding of how to implement these changes in the behavioral sciences. The Federal Rules of Evidence now reflect the changes brought about by the Daubert trilogy. Before the Benchbook, there were no guidelines, practice books, or judicial decision-making manuals that address even in the vaguest "gatekeeping" responsibilities in the behavioral sciences
