1 in 4 children in America are exposed to alcoholism in their families, which brings chaos. Family members adopt rigid roles like the alcoholic, enabler, scapegoat, hero, and lost child to cope. The alcoholic loses their identity and takes on health issues. The enabler excels to raise family esteem while feeling guilty. The scapegoat acts out to divert focus, and the lost child feels empty. Children experience tension, fear, and inconsistent parenting.
Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse developed a theory identifying typical roles adopted by members of dysfunctional families with substance abuse issues. These roles - the substance abuser, chief enabler, family hero, family scapegoat, lost child, and family mascot - each serve a purpose in reducing family tension but also negatively impact development. For example, the family hero takes on responsibilities to provide pride, but risks health issues from stress, while the family scapegoat bears blame intended for the substance abuser. Wegscheider-Cruse's theory provides insight into dysfunctional family dynamics and how roles in childhood can influence problems in adulthood.
Chemical Dependency and the Family - October 2012Dawn Farm
"Chemical Dependency and the Family" was presented on October 30, 2012; by Dr. Lynn Kleiman Malinoff, Ed.D. Chemical dependency affects all members of the family, not just the person with the alcohol or other drug addiction. This program provides participants with a basic understanding of how addiction impacts each member of a family. The presenter describes the roles and behaviors that family members often acquire when living with addiction, ways in which each family member is affected by addiction in the family, and options for family members to obtain help to cope with addiction in the family. This program is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series, a FREE, annual workshop series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about chemical dependency, recovery, family and related issues. The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of chemical dependency services. For information, please see http://www.dawnfarm.org.
The document provides an overview of the Forestdale Fathering Initiative, which offers services to help non-custodial fathers improve their engagement and support of children. The initiative analyzes the disease of family violence and its symptoms and effects. It identifies barriers to change for abusive fathers/males and the benefits of changing such behaviors. Services include parenting skills, anger management, and male accountability programs.
There are four main reasons why people become addicts: genetic predisposition, dealing with mental illness, submitting to peer pressure, and experiencing childhood trauma. Those with a family history of addiction are more likely to struggle with addiction themselves. Many addicts also suffer from mental health disorders that motivate substance abuse for relief. Both teens and adults can fall prey to peer pressure that leads to addiction. Repeated childhood abuse can shape brain chemistry and increase vulnerability to lifelong addiction. Seeking help from addiction counselors or programs can help break the cycle of addiction within families.
This document discusses the impacts of relationship trauma. Relationship trauma can cause emotional and psychological trauma from within relationships. It can lead to difficulties regulating emotions, hypervigilance, and reemerging of old patterns in new relationships. Unhealthy family systems and lack of trust in relationships due to trauma can contribute to high-risk behaviors, addictions, and intergenerational trauma through reenactment dynamics. Resolving relationship trauma involves ongoing effort and compromise in relationships.
1) The document discusses the risks of addiction within families and provides statistics on how addiction affects 1 in 3 families through problem drinking and 1 in 4 children living with an alcoholic parent.
2) It notes that Oregon has a high rate of gambling addiction and discusses treatment resources available throughout the state.
3) The text explains how children from families affected by addiction are at higher risk both for developing addictions themselves or perpetuating the cycle of addiction through their own relationships and children. It provides an overview of common roles children take on in dysfunctional families.
Nothing happens until you DO something, until you take ACTION. The drive to act begins with motivation. What is it? How do you get it? How do you keep it going?
The roots of addiction go much deeper than the adaptive behaviors that so often are the focus of intervention efforts. This is because dealing with the symptoms (addictions) are easier than dealing with the root causes. I have long believed that addiction is a problem best managed over time like other chronic illnesses. But successful management necessitates addressing what drives the addictive behavior in the first place.

Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses that arise from biological, psychological, and social factors. They have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness and typically emerge during late adolescence or early adulthood. Eating disorders impact all demographics and can occur in people of any size or weight. Negative body image, which involves distorted perceptions of one's body shape and feeling ashamed of one's appearance, increases the likelihood of developing an eating disorder and related mental health issues. Treatment focuses on the individual's overall health and well-being rather than weight or appearance. Mentors can help by listening without judgment, providing support and information about resources, and fostering a culture of positive body image. Eating disorders may present differently between males

Elizabeth S. Tudor has been a licensed clinical social worker in private practice for six years, working with individuals and families, primarily teens, on trauma-based issues and substance abuse/addiction challenges using assessments, various therapies including narrative, play, sandtray, and energy psychology. She previously worked as a school social worker, treatment coordinator for foster care, and social worker for Child Youth and Family Department, utilizing counseling, assessments, advocacy, and collaboration.
The document discusses child abuse syndrome, including definitions, types of abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, medical, neglect), symptoms, signs, risk factors, complications, prevention, treatment, and coping strategies. The main types of abuse are physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, medical abuse, and neglect. Symptoms vary but may include behavioral changes, emotional issues, and physical signs of injury. Prevention focuses on providing love and supervision to children, knowing caregivers, and getting support. Treatment involves therapy and improving family relationships and attachment.
The document discusses stress, its physical and emotional symptoms, and its links to health risks like cancer, depression, obesity, and heart disease. It then summarizes the results of a survey that found most people experience moderate to high stress levels from school, parents, and friends, and that stress negatively impacts their health, relationships, and academic performance. The document concludes by connecting the survey results to a character in the book "Twisted" who experiences stress from similar sources and increased suicidal thoughts.
This document discusses the psychosocial aspects of hematological disorders. It outlines 5 objectives, including discussing major problems patients and their families face and identifying common psychological disorders caused by hematological diseases. It notes psychological and social issues can arise from both chronic and acute conditions. Key challenges for patients include pain, inwardness, difficulties in school/work, and for parents, shock, guilt, financial problems, and favoring the sick child. Common psychological problems that can develop include depression, fear, mood swings, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts. The document recommends community support through moral/financial assistance, sympathy, and blood donation. It suggests adjuvant therapy, faith, disease awareness, and fair treatment of family members can help address psychological complications
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to one or more traumatic events, such as physical or sexual abuse, assault, accidents, natural disasters, or war. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, insomnia, and hypervigilance that cause impairment to social and occupational functioning. Psychological trauma is caused by experiencing or witnessing events like abuse, assault, addiction, illness, bullying, family violence, or accidents that produce feelings of fear, helplessness, or horror.
The document discusses several risk factors and predictors related to juvenile delinquency and suicide risk assessment. Key risk factors include depression, substance abuse, previous suicide attempts, access to lethal means, family dysfunction, and certain clinical disorders. Treatment approaches have shifted from a sole focus on the individual to involving the family through strengths-based models that assess the child within the larger family system and build on inherent strengths.
Child abuse and neglect reporting is mandatory for certain professionals. Abuse includes physical harm, sexual abuse, emotional injury, or failure to prevent these. Reports must be made within 48 hours and can be filed by phone or online. Failure to report or false reporting can result in misdemeanor charges. Signs of teen suicide ideation include irritability, physical complaints, sensitivity to criticism, social withdrawal, and talking about death or dying. Anyone expressing suicidal thoughts should be taken seriously and a counselor or administrator contacted immediately for assistance. The student must remain supervised until help arrives.
2-3% of people identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Coming out is a process for both the individual and their family that involves stages like denial, depression, anger, and acceptance. Education can help dispel myths and stereotypes while improving communication and problem solving skills within the family. The path to acceptance involves increasing education, improving communication, and building self-confidence.
This document discusses family and marital counseling. It defines family as a basic social unit where members are economically and emotionally dependent on one another. It describes different types of normal and abnormal families. Family functioning includes problem solving, roles, emotional responsiveness, involvement, and behavioral control. Dysfunctional families fail in these areas. Common family problems relate to structure, substance use, caring for ill people, crises, abuse, and violence. Counseling solutions involve categorizing issues, getting family perspectives, finding problems, explaining mistakes, assigning homework, following up, and generalizing lessons. Qualities of resilient families are commitment, appreciation, good communication, strong values, and quality time together.
Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is a condition where individuals have difficulty forming loving relationships and trusting others due to inadequate care during early childhood. Children with RAD lack an internalized sense of security and display self-centered, impulsive, and immature behaviors. RAD is caused by a lack of attachment before age 3 due to factors like abuse, neglect, unstable caregiving situations, or unprepared parenting. Symptoms include a lack of affection with caregivers, destructive behavior, poor impulse control, and abnormal social skills. Treatment focuses on therapeutic parenting that can help children with RAD learn to love and function healthily.
1. The document discusses sex and porn addiction, providing characteristics of typical addicts such as married men in their 30s whose wives discover inappropriate online behavior.
2. Sex addiction is described as meeting the same criteria as substance abuse addictions, involving a loss of control and continuation despite negative consequences.
3. Treatment focuses on stopping acting out immediately, confronting denial, developing relapse prevention plans, and referring clients to support groups like 12-step programs.
What is Sexual Addiction? Sex Addiction is a pathological relationship with a mood-altering experience. This presentation will cover the types of sex addiction, the levels and many other aspects.
The document discusses the declining mental health of youth due to the pandemic. It states that while it may seem like young people were spared effects of the pandemic, their mental health has actually declined significantly. The pandemic accelerated this decline as lockdowns separated youth from family and friends, making it difficult for some to cope. Globally, depression and anxiety are leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents. Emotional disorders profoundly impact areas like schoolwork and attendance, while social withdrawal can increase isolation and loneliness. Depression in extreme cases can even lead to suicide.
The document discusses the impact of having a child with differing abilities on families. It defines autism as a developmental disorder that impairs communication and social interaction. It describes the effects on home life, including family dynamics, parenting styles, awareness of differences, and communication struggles. It also discusses school life inclusion, support services, and stressors for primary caregivers related to health, home, safety, finances and trauma. Finally, it proposes strategies like mindfulness techniques, yoga, and a positive psychology approach.
Emotional abuse is a form of violence that involves improper and unhealthy interactions between two or more people. It can be caused by factors like inferiority complexes, unresolved personal problems, and lack of ability to understand healthy relationships. Abusers tend to be emotionally immature and exert excessive control over victims, while victims have low self-esteem and seek crumbs of affection. Signs of abuse can be subtle messages or behaviors that manipulate or play mind games. Prevention requires awareness of key information and seeking help from others.
Equine therapy can benefit people with various ailments, and autism is one of the most common uses. Interaction with the horses can help in all aspects of life, even after therapy has ended.

This document provides tips for aging gracefully. It discusses maintaining good physical and mental health through activities like exercise, social interaction, and learning. Aging presents multiple challenges like retirement, finances, family changes, and illness. Rather than focusing on physical pleasures or spending less, the document recommends staying active in relationships, hobbies, work, and showing love and respect. It warns against negative thought patterns and offers advice like communicating well, appreciating others, and prioritizing safety and health services. The overall message is to age with a positive attitude while accepting change and avoiding inactivity, isolation, and negativity.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
