The three articles on alcohol abuse suggest that: (1) there is a clear association between alcoholism and all kinds of domestic violence such as wife battering, child abuse, and incest; (2) many abuse victims are 'silent' victims until threat of serious injury or death appears imminent; and (3) social services and the criminal justice system are beginning to develop programs involving hotlines, emergency shelters, and crisis centers to help with these problems. Better coordination of various services and information exchange between agencies recommended to ensure comprehensive care of the whole families and break the pattern of violence. Another article focuses on the need to provide services for all children of alcoholics, not just those who exhibit behavioral problems. Additional articles focus on a program model for training counselors to handle referrals to child protective services and policy issues related to Federal regulations governing confidentiality of patient records and child abuse/neglect reports. A partial listing of family violence agencies is provided. References are included for each paper. (Author abstract modified)
