Ego Development, Psychopathology, and Parenting Problems in Substance-Abusing Mothers

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPSYCHIATRY, Issue 1 2008
Nancy Suchman PhD
The authors examined maternal ego development in relation to psychopathology and parenting problems in a sample of substance abusing mothers. Given predilections at higher levels of ego development for introspection and guilt, the authors expected mothers at higher levels to report more psychopathology. Given predilections at lower levels of ego development for dichotomous perceptions and limited conceptions of causation, the authors expected mothers at low levels to report more problematic parenting behaviors. Intelligence was expected to correlate but not overlap with ego development. Subjects were 182 mothers who expressed interest in a randomized clinical trial for a new parenting intervention. Measures included the Washington University Sentence Completion Task,Short Form, the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire, the Brief Symptom Inventory and the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test. Results of correlation and multivariate analyses of variance confirmed predictions. Implications for future development of interventions for substance abusing mothers are discussed. [source]

The Triple P-Positive Parenting Programme: a universal population-level approach to the prevention of child abuse

CHILD ABUSE REVIEW, Issue 3 2003
Matthew R. Sanders
Abstract The Triple P-Positive Parenting Programme is described as an example of an evidence-based universal parenting initiative that provides a tiered continuum of interventions of increasing strength but narrowing reach in an effort to make parenting programmes more accessible to parents. Interventions within the system range from the use of the media and brief messages to intensive family interventions for parents where parenting problems are complicated by multiple additional sources of family adversity. Several issues concerning the role of training and organizational factors that influence the successful uptake and implementation of the programme are discussed.

Double trouble: maternal depression and alcohol dependence as combined factors in child and family social work

CHILDREN & SOCIETY, Issue 4 2002
Johanna Woodcock
This study, part of a large programme of research incorporating four child and family care teams, focuses on the combined effects of alcohol dependence alongside clinical depression in mothers. A comparison is made between women who were clinically depressed and women who were both clinically depressed and alcohol dependent. The latter group had significantly higher levels of difficulty in social relationship, health, child, and particularly parenting problems. When considered alongside the intensity, duration and range of intervention required, the results indicated that there is considerable concern about the ,dangerousness' of this particular group with major implications for policy and practice.
