Drinking and drugs have long led to a multitude of problems within families. Given the availability of various forms of substances, and the potential harm to families, it is essential that greater research be focused upon substance use and addiction. This edited volume offers a broad examination of substance use and the family.

Featuring a broad variety of chapters across the many issues pertaining to substance use and addiction, topics include those such as spousal addiction and marital quality, parenting and substance use, financial tolls of addiction upon families, coping with adolescent substance use and addiction, multi-generational patterns of substance use in families, substance use and family violence, child neglect and substance addiction, family interventions, addiction concealment within families, role modeling among siblings, gender differences in parental substance use, and child abuse, among others.

Substance Use and the Family is appealing reading for scholars of family sociology, the sociology of health, and childhood and youth alike.
