Women's reports of negative, neutral, and positive effects of growing up with alcoholic parents [electronic resource] / Maryann Amodeo, PhD, LICSW, Margaret Griffin, PhD, Ruth Paris, PhD, LICSW. - pp. 69-76.
Parental alcoholism does not necessarily result in negative outcomes for the offspring; we examined whether it would result in negative perceptions of the experience. Black women and White women with alcoholic parents (N = 126) rated and described the effect of parental alcoholism on them: 65% reported a negative effect, 26% reported a positive effect, and 7% reported a neutral effect. We examined these ratings in relation to the women's overall adult adjustment. More positive ratings were associated with being Black and with variables such as social support, experiencing lower family conflict, and having no alcohol problem oneself. Human service providers need greater access to research findings to see that children from these families will be diverse in their psychological and social functioning.
