[Legal family assessment in the case of alcoholic parents].
Legal testimony in families with alcohol abusing parents requires extensive psychological assessment concerning developmental risks and coping resources of the children, specific characteristics of abuse, abuse related behaviour and comorbidity of the alcohol abusing parent als well as morbidity of the non-alcoholic parent. Children of alcoholics and their parents themselves need long-term help beyond the process of divorce and legal activities which demands close cooperation between social institutions involved.
