Working with Alcoholic Families in a Child Welfare Agency: The Problem of Underdiagnosis.
Thompson, Lois
Child Welfare, v69 n5 p463-70 Sep-Oct 1990
Social Service agencies have been reluctant to focus on alcoholism as an issue in treating client and family problems, although there are 48 million alcoholics in the U.S., and 7 million of them are under age 18. Reasons for the reluctance to focus on alcoholism include lack of knowledge, poor prognosis, nihilism, denial, social workers' fears of confrontation. (DG)
