“…Although this is not to argue that other variables (e.g., child maltreatment, parenting, peer values, parent psychopathology, quality of the neighborhood) should not be considered in tandem; rather, our rationale for concentrating on the relationship between substance abuse and IPV in this review is that that the relationship between drug abuse and IPV is well-established (Caetano, Schafer, & Cunradi, 2001; Fals-Stewart, 2003; O’Farrell, Van Hutton, & Murphy, 1999; Stith et al, 2004). Second, exposure to IPV is all-too-common among children raised by drug-abusing parents (Fals-Stewart, Kelley, Cooke, & Golden, 2003; Hanson et al, 2006). Finally, exposure to IPV presents one of the most destructive risk factors for children’s short- and long-term development (e.g., Fosco, DeBoard, & Grych, 2007; Grych, Jouriles, Swank, McDonald, & Norwood, 2000; see Russo, 2008).…”

“…Partner violence is high among drug-abusing parents with children in their homes (e.g., Fals-Stewart et al, 2003; Frank, Brown, Johnson, & Cabral, 2002; Hanson et al, 2006; Lam, Fals-Stewart, & Kelley, 2009b) and in the early stages of marriage when children are likely to be young (O’Leary et al, 1989). Unfortunately, documented cases of domestic violence often have multiple young children in the home (see Fusco & Fantuzzo, 2009; Kitzmann et al, 2003).…”

This review examines what have been, to this point, generally two divergent lines of research: (a) effects of parental drug abuse on children, and (b) effects of children’s exposure to interparental violence. A small, but growing body of literature has documented the robust relationship between drug use and intimate partner violence. Despite awareness of the interrelationship, little attention has been paid to the combined effect of these deleterious parent behaviors on children in these homes. Thus, we argue for the need to examine the developmental impact of these behaviors (both individually and combined) on children in these homes and for treatment development to reflect how each of these parent behaviors may affect children of substance abusers.

“…Studies suggest that COSA are 4 to 6 times more likely to develop a drinking problem than are control groups (Coleman & Frick, 1994;Stewart & Wilcox, 1985). COA have 2 to 4 times higher risk for developing adolescent psychiatric disorders than children without alcoholic parents (Lynskey, Fergusson, & Horwood, 1994) and often lack adequate coping skills and stress management strategies (Fals-Stewart, Kelley, Cooke, & Golden, 2003;Hall & Webster, 2002). COSA also exhibit higher symptoms of internalizing (sadness and worrying) and externalizing (aggression) syndromes (J. L. Johnson & Leff, 1999).…”

BACKGROUND Adolescents with substance-abusing parents need interventions to reduce their risk for a variety of problems. School-based support groups (SBSGs) have been proposed to increase resilience in this population. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate a SBSG for adolescents with substance-abusing parents. STUDY DESIGN The randomized, controlled study was conducted with high-school students (n = 109) to evaluate the impact of SBSGs on resiliency. Resiliency was operationalized as positive physical health, mental health, and risk behaviors in the presence of adverse life events. Data were collected pre- and postintervention. RESULTS Significant improvements in knowledge of substance abuse were noted. Findings suggested gender differences in coping and health outcomes and positive trends in substance use. CONCLUSIONS SBSGs may increase resilience in this at-risk population. However, there were gender differences in response to the intervention, and group facilitators should be aware that participants' gender may influence response to the groups.

Antisocial personality disorder, psychopathy, dissocial personality disorder and sociopathy are constructs that have generally been used to predict recidivism and dangerousness, alongside being used to exclude patients from treatment services. However, 'antisocial personality disorder' has recently begun to emerge as a treatment diagnosis, a development reflected within cognitive behaviour therapy and mentalisation-based psychotherapy. Many of the behaviour characteristics of antisocial personality disorder are, at the same time, being targeted by interventions at criminal justice settings. A significantly higher proportion of published articles focusing on antisocial personality concern treatment when compared to articles on psychopathy. Currently, the proposal for antisocial personality disorder for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition, suggests a major change in the criteria for this disorder. While the present definition focuses mainly on observable behaviours, the proposed revision stresses interpersonal and emotional aspects of the disorder drawing on the concept of psychopathy. The present commentary suggests that developments leading to improvement in the diagnosis of this type of disorder should, rather than focusing exclusively on elements such as dangerousness and risk assessment, point us to ways in which patients can be treated for their problems.
