...2012 Mrs. Barbara Nosal Article Review There are a number of resources available to the families that are affected by drug abuse within the family unit. Due to the very sensitive nature of dealing with drug addiction within the family there need to be options for parents, siblings, spouses, etc to guide them as they attempt to make sense of what is happening to their families. Not only does the drug abuser suffer because of their lifestyle choices but the family must deal with emotions such as: a sense of helplessness, lack of control, guilt, pity, sadness, and fear for their loved one. This paper will discuss the information received from just three online articles regarding options available to those suffering from the affects of drug abuse within the family. Article #1: Project Know. Understanding Addiction: Support Groups for Families of Addicts This article outlines the various options available to those dealing with drug addiction within the family unit. The article presents options such as Al-Anon, Nar-Anon, Gam-Anon, Co-Dependents Anonymous, and COSA. Each of these programs helps to provide a better understanding of addiction for family members and spouses of addicts. By allowing for meetings with others dealing with similar circumstances there is an increased support which is essential to the recovery process for both the family member and the addict. Often family members feel a sense of guilt falsely believing that they have contributed to the addiction somehow...

...Drug and Alcohol Review, (July 2005), 24, 369 – 385 Family interventions in the treatment of alcohol and drug problems ALEX G. COPELLO1, RICHARD D. B. VELLEMAN2 & LORNA J. TEMPLETON2 1 Birmingham and Solihull Substance Misuse Services and School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, UK and 2Mental Health Research and Development Unit, University of Bath, UK and Avon Witshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust Abstract Alcohol and drug problems affect not only those using these substances but also family members of the substance user. In this review evidence of the negative impacts substance misuse may have upon families are examined, following which family-focused interventions are reviewed. Several family-focused interventions have been developed. They can be broadly grouped into three types: (1) working with family members to promote the entry and engagement of substance misusers into treatment; (2) joint involvement of family members and substance misusing relatives in the treatment of the latter; and (3) interventions responding to the needs of the family members in their own right. The evidence base for each of the three types is reviewed. Despite methodological weaknesses in this area, a number of conclusions can be advanced that support wider use of family focused interventions in routine practice. Future research needs to focus on (1) pragmatic trials that are more representative of routine clinical settings; (2) cost-effectiveness analyses, in terms of...

Polygyny has been defined as “the marriage of a man to two or more women at the same time” (Moorehead, 1991: 311), or the “practice of plural marriage” (Altman and Ginat, 1996: 3). The term polygamy has also been used synonymously with polygyny, although it could also be used to encompass polyandry (Welch and Glick, 1981). Polyandry refers to the marriage of one woman to two or more husbands, while polygynandry contemplates a situation in which two or more women are simultaneously married to two or more men (Al-Krenawi, Graham, and Slonim-Nevo, 2002). Polygynandry has also been used to refer to group marriage (Anon., 2004). The term informal polygamy has been used to describe relationships characterized by the simultaneous existence of a legal marriage of one man to one woman and an affair with a second woman that has become a stable feature of the family structure (Rivett and Street, 1993).
