A randomized controlled trial and economic evaluation of the Parents under Pressure Program for parents in substance abuse treatment

An increasing body of research suggests that adverse outcomes for children raised in families with parental substance-misuse emerge early in the child ’s life and are related to the quality of the parent-child relationship that significantly impacts on the child’s developing neurological (Schore, 2010) and attachment (De Wolff and van Ijzendoorn, 1997) systems (see Hatzis et al., 2017 for a review). Importantly, the quality of the caregiving r elationship is itself impacted by numerous chronic and inter-related problems that include co-occurring psychiatric disorders (Suchman et al., 2005), particularly disorders of affect regulation (Taylor et al., 1997), depression (Dix et al., 2004), and borderline personality disorder (Petfield et al. , 2015).
