To acquire a richer and better understanding of this realm in Malta, while outlining concrete recommendations to further contain this problem, a qualitative study was thus employed. Six participants were selected after meeting all inclusion criteria. Data were analysed following interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) guidelines. Semi-structured interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Three superordinate themes, namely a) psychosocial impact, b) coping strategies, and c) a sense of identity, were elevated. A number of findings resulting from this study may point at the resilient nature and skills exhibited by ACOAs, who move on to lead successful lives, despite their past hard life. Recommendations for future applications are discussed. Overall, recognition of children of parents who misuse alcohol should be prioritised in service planning to ensure that their needs are not overlooked.</p>","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"44 4","pages":"535-549"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47675260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the Dutch therapists reported no acute worries about their clients’ sexual safety during the pandemic lockdowns. Nonetheless, the switch to online therapy for the SSA families created concern regarding victim safety in speaking out freely at home. Second, while the sudden switch to online therapy enabled SSA therapists to stay connected with their SSA families, therapists experienced a decline in therapy quality and in their own well-being.

This paper indicates that day services (DSs) could play a role in resolving these issues. Qualitative research investigating whether DSs are considered valuable to key stakeholders is scarce. Therefore, this qualitative case study sought the perspectives of ten clinicians working at a DS integrated with an inpatient service (IPS). Thematic analysis highlighted the systemic value of accessing intensive support whilst still living with family, with participants perceiving that day patients better consolidated therapeutic skills when compared with inpatients. Importantly, the DS was perceived to enhance the overall therapeutic impact of the wider IPS. The implications of these findings for the use and funding of DS are discussed, highlighting the need to further explore the efficacy of integrated services incorporating day and inpatient care.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner points</h3>\u0000 <p>\u0000 \u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>The DS was perceived to provide young people with high-intensity support, whilst maintaining key systemic connections to their homes and communities.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>The DS was perceived to positively influence the systemic dynamics of the inpatient service, improving the efficacy of inpatient care.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Findings indicate a mutually beneficial relationship between day and inpatient services, strengthening the case for the integration of both services.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 \u0000 </div>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"45 4","pages":"428-443"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41780538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
