Abstract

The research described in the present thesis focuses on understanding the psychological impacts on family members whose relatives have alcohol, mental and offending problems. It contains a systematic review and an empirical paper. The systematic review critically reviews quantitative literature of the prevalence and nature of the psychological impacts on family members affected by a relative’s heavy alcohol drinking and interprets the results in terms of the clinical implications for this group of people. The empirical paper uses Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to explore the psychological impacts on family members of men with mental health and offending problems. The findings are interpreted in relation to previous research and Lazarus’ (1991) transactional model of stress and coping.
