Abstract: This study examined an ecological model of maternal substance abuse and child neglect. Data are presented that identified an interplay among family history, interpersonal risk factors, current family functioning, and community networks in examinations of child neglect in a sample of substance-abusing women entering treatment.

“…Wells and Shafran (2005) conclude that, in many localities, the child welfare system has become a de facto substance abuse treatment system due to the large number of cases involving parental alcohol or drug abuse. Such families often face a combination of risk factors in conjunction with parental substance abuse, including maternal mental illness, exposure to violence, poverty, inadequate housing, and other environmental problems (Cash & Wilke, 2003;Nair, Schuler, Black, Kettinger, & Harrington, 2003;Singer et al, 2002). Creating a positive social support system may be a necessary factor for women who are coping with these types of stressful life conditions (Manji, Maiter, & Palmer, 2005).…”

“…The observed association corresponds with recent research linking alternative forms of trauma (IPV) to psychosis via loneliness (Boyda et al, 2014) and furthermore corroborates the view that affective and behavioural aspects of social functioning may represent important precursors to psychosis. Research evidence shows that child maltreatment typically occurs in the context of dysfunctional family relationships (Cash and Wilke, 2003) and it is likely that some parents who abuse or neglect their children also contribute to a generally negative family environment by virtue of an authoritarian, rigid, neglectful and chaotic approach to parenting (Mammen et al, 2002). Parental behaviours and interactions provide a template upon which children model their social behaviours and acquire the relevant knowledge to conduct their daily activities.…”

“…Furthermore, accumulating research suggests that parental psychopathology may have detrimental consequences for parenting, impacting both parent and child. For instance, postpartum depression (Murray & Cooper, 1996; Waxler, Thelen, & Muzik, 2011) and maternal substance use (Cash & Wilke, 2003) are each associated with poorer outcomes in offspring. However, the precise mechanisms that drive these outcomes remain poorly understood.…”
