摘要

Background

In German addiction services around 40–50% of the men are fathers. Affected fathers often have difficulties in successfully realizing the fatherhood. The resulting demands can lead to changes in consumption; however, fatherhood is currently not regularly addressed as part of addiction treatment.

Material and methods

The aim of this narrative review is to describe existing associations between addictive disorders and fatherhood. A structured literature search conducted in March/April 2023, was used to identify qualitative and quantitative studies. German and English language articles published in 2013–2023 were included.

Results

A total of 20 studies were included in the review. In addition to consumption-related problems, fathers with addictive disorders are also influenced by father-specific factors. Those affected can often only live out their fatherhood insufficiently and not according to their own ideals; however, many fathers are motivated for change if they are aware of the negative effects.

Conclusion

The data point to interactions between addictive disorders and fatherhood. A joint treatment approach can be useful in order to meet existing needs. Not only the fathers can benefit from this but also their children.
