The concept of one parent attempting to separate their child from the other parent as punishment or part of a divorce have been described since at least the 1940s, but Gardner was the first to define a specific syndrome.

While Gardner initially described the mother was the alienator in 90 % of PAS cases, he later stated both parents were equally likely to alienate.

Gardner described PAS as a preoccupation by the child with criticism and deprecation of a parent.

Since Gardner proposed PAS, other researchers in the field have suggested focusing less on diagnosing a syndrome and more on what has been described as the " alienated child ," and the dynamics of the situation that have contributed to the alienation.

As described by Gardner:

Gardner was described as a dangerous man who would shoot on sight, and must be captured at all costs.

Gardner described some of his experiences with the coven in his published books Witchcraft Today ( 1954 ) and The Meaning of Witchcraft ( 1959 ), although on the whole revealed little about it, saying he was respecting the privacy of its members.

The most well known version is that written by Gerald Gardner, and includes material paraphrased works by Aleister Crowley, primarily from Liber ALThe Book of the Law ( particularly from Ch 1, spoken by Nuit, the Star Goddess ), and from his Liber XV: the Gnostic Mass as well as Liber LXV ( Liber Cordis Cincti Serpente, or the Book of the Heart Girt with the Serpent ), thus linking modern Wicca irrevocably to the cosmology and revelations of Thelema.

Originating within the Gardnerian tradition of the Craft, the first Book of Shadows was created by the pioneering Wiccan Gerald Gardner sometime in the late 1940s or early 1950s, and which he utilised first in his Bricket Wood coven and then in other covens which he founded in following decades.

" In the various traditions that make up British Traditional Wicca, copies of the original Book composed by Gerald Gardner with the aid of his High Priestess Doreen Valiente, along with alterations and additions that have been made since then, is followed by adherents.

Gerald Gardner, the " father of Wicca ", first introduced the Book of Shadows to people that he had initiated into the craft through his Bricket Wood coven in the 1950s.

Gerald Gardner did not mention any such thing as a " Book of Shadows " in his 1949 ( though written three years earlier ), novel about mediaeval witchcraft, High Magic's Aid.

High Priestess Doreen Valiente made the claim that Gardner found the term " Book of Shadows " from a 1949 edition ( Volume I, Number 3 ) of a magazine known as The Occult Observer.

Adding weight to the evidence indicating Gardner invented the Book was that other Neo-pagan witches of the time, such as Robert Cochrane, never made use of such a book.

She noticed how much of the material in his Book of Shadows was taken not from ancient sources as Gardner had initially claimed, but from the works of the occultist Aleister Crowley, from Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches, from the Key of Solomon and also from the rituals of Freemasonry.

In forms of British Traditional Wicca, which include Gardnerian Wicca, Alexandrian Wicca and Algard Wicca, the Book of Shadows used by adherents is based upon that written by Gardner and Valiente.
