Download or read book Alcohol Abuse in Victims of Childhood Maltreatment written by Bryan Ross and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence suggests relationships between childhood maltreatment, alcohol abuse, emotion dysregulation, and the reinforcement sensitivity systems. The purpose of the current study was to further delineate these relationships, exploring a moderated mediation model from childhood maltreatment to alcohol abuse. It was expected that childhood maltreatment would be positively related to alcohol abuse, with this relationship mediated by emotion dysregulation. The relationship between childhood maltreatment and emotion dysregulation was also expected to be moderated by the behavioral activation system and fight-flight-freeze system. Data were collected from undergraduate students using an online survey in which participants completed the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, and the Jackson-5 scales of revised reinforcement sensitivity theory. It was found that emotion dysregulation completely mediated the relationship between childhood maltreatment and alcohol abuse, but there was no evidence of moderation in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and emotion dysregulation. Alternate pathways from the behavioral activation system and fight-flight-freeze system were also found. The evidence of various paths associated with alcohol abuse may carry important treatment implications for those with alcohol use disorder.
Download or read book New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, child protective services receive reports of child abuse and neglect involving six million children, and many more go unreported. The long-term human and fiscal consequences of child abuse and neglect are not relegated to the victims themselves-they also impact their families, future relationships, and society. In 1993, the National Research Council (NRC) issued the report, Under-standing Child Abuse and Neglect, which provided an overview of the research on child abuse and neglect. New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research updates the 1993 report and provides new recommendations to respond to this public health challenge. According to this report, while there has been great progress in child abuse and neglect research, a coordinated, national research infrastructure with high-level federal support needs to be established and implemented immediately. New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research recommends an actionable framework to guide and support future child abuse and neglect research. This report calls for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to child abuse and neglect research that examines factors related to both children and adults across physical, mental, and behavioral health domains-including those in child welfare, economic support, criminal justice, education, and health care systems-and assesses the needs of a variety of subpopulations. It should also clarify the causal pathways related to child abuse and neglect and, more importantly, assess efforts to interrupt these pathways. New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research identifies four areas to look to in developing a coordinated research enterprise: a national strategic plan, a national surveillance system, a new generation of researchers, and changes in the federal and state programmatic and policy response.

Taking a comprehensive, life course approach, the authors discuss the implications and interventions at the prenatal stage, through childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and adulthood. With this book, social workers and health care practitioners can help assess and intervene with children of substance abusing parents.

Download or read book Child Abuse written by David A. Wolfe and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1997-08-15 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child Abuse brings together experts in both physical abuse and sexual abuse to create one of the few volumes that has addressed innovative approaches to treatment and prevention in these two areas. The resulting compendium of information provides insights into the current psychological perspectives on the causes and treatment of different forms of child maltreatment as well as the delivery of early intervention and prevention services. The book begins in the first part with a conceptual overview of the effect of physical abuse on the life course of children and adults. Chapters on physical abuse also examine recent findings related to child abuse offenders, children who witness domestic violence, treatment of abusive adults, and prevention programs aimed at dating adolescents and pregnant women. Contributors focusing on child sexual abuse note new approaches to the delivery of treatment services for these children as well as current developments in the interface between abuse victims and the court system. Considering the needs of both adult survivors and children, Child Abuse also discusses how child maltreatment interventions can be integrated into broader intervention services. An ideal book for use in professional training and development, Child Abuse will also guide policymakers at state and national levels to emerging new models and programs. This volume is likewise a useful resource for researchers and practitioners in social work, clinical/counseling psychology, mental health, and public health.
Download or read book Trauma and Substance Abuse written by Paige Ouimette and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 2003 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trauma and Substance Abuse explores the underrecognized connection between trauma, substance use, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Patients with trauma related distress such as PTSD often have comorbid substance use disorders (SUDs). This book presents cutting-edge research on how often the two disorders co-occur and why. Authors describe models of comorbidity and explore how specific PTSD and substance use symptoms are functionally related to each other. In addition, they suggest assessment approaches and practice guidelines to facilitate proper diagnosis and treatment. Particularly valuable are descriptions of several new treatment approaches that have been developed specifically for PTSD-SUD, including cognitive-behavioral and exposure therapy. This is the first book to evaluate and synthesize the two fields of PTSD and substance use disorder research and treatment. This volume is indispensable for researchers and clinicians seeking a full understanding of the etiology, assessment, and treatment of this challenging dual diagnosis.
