Abstract

Alcohol abuse negatively affects the individual alcoholics and their families, including children. This paper investigates interventions that help children of alcoholics psychosocially and psychopathologically. We investigated domestic and international literature by searching the related databases and reviewing articles. Inclusion criteria were studies on psychological interventions for children of alcoholics (CoAs) or both CoAs and parents. Results suggest that the interventions help CoAs reduce their emotional and behavioral problems. After the review, the research results were discussed, and suggested further effective interventions. The study is valuable because it reviewed the studies that improved CoAs' psychological problems and suggested future directions

알코올 중독은 알코올을 사용하는 개인뿐만 아니라 가족 시스템에도 부정적인 영향을 미친다. 가족은 아동의 사회화 과정에서 가장 중요한 요소이다. 이러한 관점에서, 알코올 중독은 자녀에게 심리사회적 및 정신병리적으로 영향을 미친다. 그러나, 현재까지 알코올 중독 분야에서 자녀들은 연구 대상에서 제외되어왔다. 본 연구는 알코올 중독자 자녀들의 심리적 문제에 대해 개입하고 그 효과성을 확인한 문헌들을 개관하고자 하였다. 국내외 연구를 조사하기 위하여 관련 데이터 베이스 및 개관 논문을 활용하였으며, 연구 대상은 알코올 중독자 자녀 또는 자녀와 부모를 대상으로 개입한 연구로 하였다. 연구 결과, 개인 및 가족을 대상으로 한 개입이 자녀의 심리사회적 또는 정신병리적 문제의 감소에 효과가 있었다. 결과를 종합적으로 정리하고, 추가 논의를 통해 추후 효과적인 개입 방안에 대해 논의하였다.
