This monograph, the product of a symposium about the provision of services to children of alcoholics, contains chapters concentrating on identification, intervention, treatment, and prevention. These concepts are delineated in terms of the needs of children of alcoholics, with a particular emphasis on barriers that inhibit the therapy process and appropriate prevention activities. Recommendations by symposium participants are included in each chapter. Appendix A contains the four symposium papers focusing on the identification of children of alcoholics, intervention approaches, and treatment and prevention issues. Appendix B consists of nine program descriptions outlining program goals and surveying various treatment approaches. (RC)
