“…It is possible that neural responses to stress in the absence of healthy attachment were evident in behaviors and states that may have been mistakenly attributed to personality or temperament. For example, adolescents who develop substance abuse disorders have been noted to have early and persistent behavior problems (Hawkins, Catalano, & Miller, 1992;Peleg-Oren & Teichman, 2006). Upon further consideration, the reported symptoms of withdrawn behavior, irritability, temper tantrums, poor impulse control, and aggression may be markers of emotional dysregulation that have more to do with parenting practices and exposure to conflict and stress than to temperament or personality (Elkins et al, 2004;Tarter et al, 2003).…”

Emotional regulation has emerged as an important factor in understanding a wide spectrum of disorders, including substance abuse. This article reviews research on the role of emotion regulation in substance use disorders (SUD) and offers a new perspective on the rationale of family substance use as a risk predictor for children and adolescents. The implications for prevention and early intervention are of particular importance to adolescent SUD.

“…Traditional family approaches to problematic substance use have supported the psychoanalytic view that families can be seen as the enemies of individual growth and change, and thus are an impediment or hurdle that the substance abusing client must overcome, thus a reason behind a client's psychopathology (e.g., Steinglass et al, 1987). Systemic family therapy approaches have described the dysfunctional substance using member as the family's ''scapegoat'' of a more systemic family problem (Orford et al, 2005;Peleg-Oren & Teichman, 2006). However, families are often the first to try and manage a person's substance abuse, with spouses regularly engaging in an attempt to ''home treat'' their partner's substance dependence before turning to professional assistance.…”

Problematic substance use is a significant concern for Aboriginal communities across Australia. Most approaches to intervention are individualised, locating the problem and the solution in the substance user. When problematic use is common within a family and community, individual treatment is likely to be ineffective. A literature review of familyfocussed and culturally specific drug and alcohol interventions was conducted to inform the development of family-focussed interventions in the community setting. The review supports the development of family-focussed interventions, suggesting this approach will be culturally appropriate and effective for Aboriginal communities. The potential role of social work in working with Aboriginal communities on problematic substance use, and likely barriers for the profession, are discussed.

“…Marziali (1992) has documented that by far, the greater percentage of women diagnosed with borderline personality disorder were sexually or physically abused in childhood. Families governed by substance abuse are similarly unable to provide consistent caretaking, as research has confirmed the emotional consequences suffered by children exposed to parental substance abuse (Copans 2006;Peleg-Oren and Teichman 2006).…”

A case of attempted maternal-filial suicide is discussed from the perspective of trauma, emotional regulation and defense mechanisms. Case details which include childhood sexual abuse, observed parental violence and emotional neglect allow for an illustration of the impact of childhood family experiences on adult intimacy and coping patterns. Domestic violence and the perception of protection are also explored. Emotional regulation in the experience of despair is approached from an object relations perspective. Based on this, implications for prevention and treatment are presented.
