Service Need

Objective To describe the disability associated with psychiatric disorder in a community sample in order to refine estimates of service need and identify subgroups with greater priority for intervention. Method Disability is conceptualized broadly as performance difficulties, troubled relationships, and dissatisfaction in various life domains. Data from the Mental Health Supplement are used to compare disability between those with and without disorder and among various subtypes of disorder. Results Although the majority of those with disorder do not report disability, their difficulties with functioning are far greater than for the rest of the population. Those with comorbid or affective disorders typically have more disability than those with anxiety or substance abuse disorders. Conclusions Society needs to recognize the high human and economic costs associated with the prevalence of psychiatric disorder. Assessments of service need and decisions about priorities should take both disorder and disability into consideration.

Abuse And Neglect

The risk of child abuse and neglect is higher in families where the parent(s) abuse substances, with the highest incidence in families where both parents abuse alcohol. The interplay between parental substance misuse and child maltreatment has become a crucial issue in statutory child protection work and consequently for those who work intensively with clients in their homes. Not all children of substance-abusing parents are ‘at risk’ of harm, however, and abstention from drug usage is not always a helpful treatment goal, nor indeed does it necessarily reduce the harm to a child under protective scrutiny.
