Our purpose with this paper was to examine what effect a parent's drinking problem can have for the children in the family. A combination of literature study and qualitative interview analysis was used. The most important research questions were: How do the parent's problems affect the child? In what ways can the social network around the child help it to develop normally despite problems in the home environment? To what extent a parent's drinking problem affects a child depends on many different factors. Based on earlier research and interview data we drew the conclusion that growing up in a family where a parent has a drinking problem has a negative effect on all children.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att studera föräldrarnas upplevelser och erfarenheter av att delta i en föräldrautbildning. Studiens frågeställning var: Hur beskriver ett mindre urval föräldrar sina upplevelser och erfarenheter av att delta i parent training? För att besvara frågeställningen tillämpades en kvalitativ metod där djupintervjuer genomfördes med två föräldrapar och två ensamstående mödrar. Samtliga hade genomgått föräldrautbildningen parent training i regi av barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin under år 2004. Gemensamt för samtliga föräldrar var att de kände sig lugnare och mer trygga i föräldrarollen efter avslutad utbildning.

The study?s aim was also to seek an understanding of how different categories, like gender, race, class and physical and psychical ability of the parents affect the assessment of their parenting ability, with a intersectional perspective.
