KUHN, Janelle  e  SLABBERT, Ilze. The effects of a father's alcohol misuse on the wellbeing of his family: views of social workers. Social work (Stellenbosch. Online) [online]. 2017, vol.53, n.3, pp.409-422. ISSN 2312-7198.  https://doi.org/10.15270/52-2-578.

Alcohol misuse poses a major threat to the wellbeing of families. If a father drinks excessively, all members of the family are affected. A qualitative study of an exploratory and descriptive nature was undertaken in which 20 social workers were interviewed. The systems theory was used as a theoretical framework. The goal of the study was to explore and describe the effects of alcohol misuse by a father on the wellbeing of his family, as viewed by social workers. Four themes emerged from the findings. Some conclusions and implications are also noted.
