Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report on the initial validation of a new method, called the “Meaning of the Child Interview” (MotC), to assess the psychological meaning all children have for their parents, but which in cases of risk, submerge or distort the child’s identity. The MotC analyses parental discourse using a method developed from the discourse analysis used to classify the Adult Attachment Interview together with patterns derived from the infant CARE-Index, a procedure that evaluates face-to-face parent-child interaction. This allows the MotC to illuminate how the parent’s thinking influences the developing relationship between parent and child. Design/methodology/approach Parents are interviewed using the Parent Development Interview (PDI), or an equivalent, and then the interview transcript is classified using the MotC system. The coding method was developed from interviews drawn from the first author’s work with children and families in the family court system, and then tested with a sample of 85 mothers and fathers, 62 of whom were parents drawn from an “at risk” context. The parents were also videoed in a short free play interaction, using the CARE-Index. Findings The study found a strong correspondence between the levels of risk as assessed by the MotC patterns of parental representation of care giving, the risk to the parent-child relationship observed using the CARE-Index. There was also corroboration of the patterns of interaction identified by the MotC. Originality/value The results of the study provide good evidence for the Meaning of the Child as an identifiable construct, and as an assessment tool to identify and assess the nature of “at risk” parent-child relationships. MotC was developed in a clinical setting within the Family Court justice system, and is designed to offer assistance to child protection and mental health practitioners deciding how to intervene in particular parent-child relationships.

AbstractInternational studies have shown effects of family relations on Internet addiction in young people. This research aimed to outline a discriminant profile of young people classified as dependent and not dependent on the Internet regarding to socio-biodemographic variables to parenting practices, parent-child conflict and interparental conflict. The sample consisted of 200 students (152 girls and 48 boys), between 15 and 24 years of age, 85.5% reside in Rio Grande do Sul and 14.5% in other Brazilian states. Participants responded individually to the protocol available online. The results showed that interparental conflict, parent-child conflict and the educational practice of supervision of paternal behavior discriminate dependents on Internet. The educational practice of maternal emotional support was the only discriminating variable for non-dependents. These national findings corroborate the international context studies and reinforce the importance of including the family in promotion and prevention of mental health of young people.

This chapter sets out the ways in which the family might be thought to pose problems for the liberal framework, and defends the adoption of that framework from the objection that it simply cannot do justice to—or, perhaps, fails adequately to care about—the ethically significant phenomena attending parent–child relationships. On the one hand, liberalism takes individuals to be the fundamental objects of moral concern, and the rights it claims people have are primarily rights of individuals over their own lives: the core liberal idea is that it is important for individuals to exercise their own judgment about how they are to live. On the other hand, parental rights are rights over others, they are rights over others who have no realistic exit option, and they are rights over others whose capacity to make their own judgments about how they are to live their lives is no less important than that of the adults raising them.

ResumenEn la presente investigación se realizó un análisis del alcoholismo desde el enfoque cualitativo, partiendo del supuesto de que esta metodología brinda un mejor acercamiento a la vivencia de las familias con un miembro alcohólico. Se tomó como eje central la perspectiva que tienen los hijos de un padre alcohólico sobre la experiencia misma, dado que las investigaciones señalan que dentro de la familia resultan ser los más afectados. Se utilizó como herramienta de análisis las historias de vida de 4 jóvenes estudiantes universitarios hijos de un padre alcohólico, obteniendo una categoría que permitió desentrañar la complejidad de la vivencia: “Cambio en la perspectiva del hijo y su participación en la familia”. De acuerdo con las interpretaciones realizadas se reafirma que una adicción causa más daño físico, psicológico y emocional a la familia que al propio enfermo; a su vez se concluyó que dicha problemática provoca inestabilidad en el ambiente familiar y se percibe como hostil, lo cual lleva al hijo a resignificar el concepto de familia que tiene, de modo que cambia su postura dentro de la misma, en un inicio tomando funciones que no le corresponden para terminar desvinculándose debido al desgaste de las relaciones paterno-filiales.   Palabras Clave: Alcoholismo, Padre, Hijos, Perspectiva, Vivencia.AbstractOn the current research it was developed an alcoholism analysis from the qualitative approach asumming that this kind of methodology brings a deeper look of the family experience with an alcoholic member. The children perspective was taken as a central matter of the study through living with an alcoholic father, given that the literature has said that they turn out to be the most affected. According to the purpose of the research, the life stories of four young college students with an alcoholic father served, getting from it a main category that simplifies the living of it: “Child’s development within the family and changes in their vision of it”. In obedience to the interpretations, it was confirmed that an addiction causes more physical, psychological and emotional damage to the family than to the addict. It also has come to the conclusion that this problematic causes inestability in the family enviroment perceived as hostile which leads the children to change the meaning they give to family while it changes their position within. At first, the children assume responsabilities that don’t belong to them and then they end up disassociating from the family due to the wear of the parent-child relationships.Key words: Alcoholism, father, children, vision, experience.

This chapter describes the clinical work with individual families during the Overcoming Barriers camp program. Though the practical goal is to restore parent-child contact and relationships in a gradual progressive between rejected parents and their children, the focus of these interventions is on the individual and relationship issues within the family that entrench the resistance or refusal dynamics. The chapter addresses the goals, objectives, and specific techniques that make up the clinical work with the coparents, the favored parent and child, the rejected parent and child, and the whole family. Also described is the progression of this work from intake through the final session. The process culminates with the documentation of any agreements that have been reached and with the parents’ committing to a specific aftercare plan.
