A Family Affair
The purpose of this study was to explore factors that influence Latinas’ drug use and recovery process. Fourteen Latinas participated in in-depth interviews. Findings reveal that their families were at the heart of their stories, playing exacerbating or protective roles. Latinas whose family had a history of substance use encountered more challenges in their recovery process, as they had to break ties from unsupportive family members and had less…
Methamphetamine-Involved Parents in the Child Welfare System
Although methamphetamine use has been declining, it continues to be problematic among parents in the child welfare system. We examined the assertion that parental methamphetamine use is more detrimental for children than abuse of other substances. Using administrative data (N = 2,465) from a treatment program, we compared parents reporting abuse of methamphetamine (48%) with parents reporting alcohol only (11%) or abuse of other illegal drugs (41…
Crisis Intervention by Social Workers in Fire Departments
This article describes a unique use of social workers as crisis response team (CRT) members in a nontraditional host setting, municipal fire departments in Arizona. The role of modern-day firefighters has changed dramatically and now includes responding to a wide variety of crises and emergencies other than fires, such as motor vehicle accidents, family abuse, suicides, mental health incidents, accidents, and shootings. These traumatic events can…

Using a stress and coping framework, this article discusses meditation as a coping intervention for clients in treatment for substance abuse. Rese…

Best Practices in the Treatment of Substance-Abusing Women in the Child Welfare System
This paper reviews the literature on women's chemical dependency and its effects on their children. Many risk factors (e.g., a history of traumatic exposure) and consequences (interference with parenting) of substance abuse are unique for women, giving rise to special treatment needs of substance-abusing women with children. Substance-abusing mothers also experience unique barriers to receiving the services they need to recover, such as absence o…
Lifetime Abuse and Mental Health Distress Among English-Speaking Latinas
Domestic violence has adverse consequences on the mental health of abused women, including Latinas, who face stressors that are associated with oppression, resettlement, and minority status, which increase their risk of abuse and its psychological distress. This article presents a descriptive study of lifetime abuse (seven types of childhood abuse and abuse by adult partners) and mental health in a small sample of English-speaking Latinas. Depres…

Intimate Partner Abuse and Mental Health
Social Support and other protective factors (Education, Employment, Self-Esteem, Health, and Absence of Economic Hardship) were studied in relation to depression, anxiety, and three types of lifetime abuse (recent intimate partner violence and past intimate partner violence, child abuse). Asurvey of 557 women was conducted as part of a domestic violence screening intervention in primary care. Compared to nonabused women, recently abused women may…
Children Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence
Prevalence of children's exposure to intimate partner violence has been estimated at 10% to 20% each year. Many children exposed to domestic violence appear to manifest negative effects. Limited research suggests the possibility of long-term effects such as lowered self-esteem and depression. Factors that moderate children's responses to domestic violence include the nature of the discord, the child's age and gender, exposure to other forms of ma…
Stress, Coping, and Resilience in Children and Youth
In this article, we review the literature on stress, coping, risk, and resilience in children, little of which is reflected in the social welfare literature. A consistent relation has been found between exposure to a wide variety of stressors or risk factors and child and adolescent well-being. However, some youth are more resilient and able to overcome adversity. Resiliency is tied to protective factors such as parental management and social sup…
Questioning the Party Line on Family Violence
This article examines the role of women as perpetrators of violence in intimate relationships with male partners, lesbian partners, children, and elderly relatives. It discusses the relationship between gender and power, why women abuse loved ones, and the contribution of gender-related factors to such violence
Incarceration, Coping, and Support
Data are presented from a study of the effects of incarceration on family life involving 63 inmates and 38 inmate wives. Inmates and wives who participated in the Family Reunion (conjugal visit) Program were contrasted with matched, nonparticipating inmates and wives. Interview data and standardized measures were used to assess inmate and wife coping and support to the wife. Coping was in the normal range for both groups of inmates and wives and,…

Children's beliefs about punishment
It has been asserted that family violence is linked to the physical punishment of children. To explore children's views on different types of punishment, brief vignettes depicting a child misbehaving were presented to 201 9-12-year-olds who were asked to provide a "parental" response. Although few recommended physical punishment, the findings suggest that for some children physical punishment and aggression are associated
Causes and Maintenance of Domestic Violence
Domestic violence, or spouse battering, is analyzed using a four-part theoretical framework based on the ecological model of human development. The analysis focuses on variables that cause and/or maintain domestic violence at the individual, family, social-structural, and sociocultural levels. Limitations of the model are considered, and a detailed case study of a family experiencing domestic violence is presented and discussed to illustrate the …
The father’s contribution to child care
Adult role behavior and its effects on children were explored in a study of dual-career and traditional families. Fathers who were active in child care were found to be more nurturant and to partake in more housework. Fewer stereotypes about the maternal role were held by girls than by boys; and boys whose parents shared responsibility for child care held fewer stereotypes about the paternal role than did boys from traditional families
Preschoolers' Sex-Role Identity, Father-Role Perceptions, and Paternal Family Participation
AN exploratory study was conducted to investigate the relationships between three patterns of family role performance and (1) preschool-aged boys' sex-role preferences and (2) preschool-aged boys' and girls' perceptions of the father role. Three groups of 20 families were interviewed in their homes regarding division of labor and satisfaction with parent and work roles. These groups varied according to maternal employment status and extent of pat…
