Abstract

ZANOTI-JERONYMO, Daniela Viganó  and  CARVALHO, Ana Maria Pimenta. Parental alcoholism and consecuencis on children and adolescentes: a review. SMAD, Rev. Eletrônica Saúde Mental Álcool Drog. (Ed. port.) [online]. 2005, vol.1, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1806-6976.

One risk factor for developing alcohol addiction in adult life is being the child of an alcoholic. In this context, we present a review of literature published in the last 5 years in Medline, Psyclit and Lilacs on children and adolescents with alcohol-addicted parents. Out of 300 studies, 27 papers were selected, resulting in 3 theme areas: having alcohol-addicted parents associated with the child’s or adolescent’s affective and behavioral characteristics; co-occurrence with another disorder and the child’s or adolescent’s characteristics; and factors to protect the child’s or adolescent’s mental health.

Keywords : Alcoholism; Family relations.
