Mutzell, Sture
Early Child Development and Care, v109 p159-73 May 1995
Examined whether children of alcoholic mothers were more psychologically damaged than children of nonalcoholic mothers. The subject families' potential for creating a good upbringing environment and subjects' childhoods were studied. Found that children of alcoholic mothers develop social maladjustment problems and addictions, and have a high rate of both somatic and psychiatric diseases, compared to other children. (AA)
