Parenting Training Programmes for Mothers and Fathers Who Have a Substance Use Disorder
摘要
This chapter provides an overview on the interaction between parental substance use and child raising and presents parenting training programmes that address (biological and non-biological) parents with a substance use disorder. First, this chapter gives an insight into the complex interaction between parental substance use problems and parenting. Here, it mainly focuses on the impacts on family environment and dysfunctional parenting practices that are often observed in substance-involved families. The potential detrimental effects on affected children are briefly presented as follows. In the next chapter, parenting training programmes that have been integrated in substance use disorder treatment and have proven their effectiveness are illustrated. Also, because of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, efforts have been pursued to deliver existing or new parenting training programmes in a digital format. Unfortunately, due to various practical and methodological challenges that are described in this chapter, the evidence base of many parenting training programmes for substance-involved mothers and fathers cannot always be ensured. The chapter ends with recommendations for both further practice and research.
