Abstract
Black, male, opiate addicts [14], their wives and their children were studied intensively using psychiatric interviews and psychological tests. Their 32 children were compared to 37 pediatric clinic children. The children raised in a home where father was an opiate addict functioned cognitively less well than their father and the teenagers showed earlier and stronger antisocial trends than pediatric clinic peers. There was a surprising absence of other psychopathology, taking into consideration the deviant environment from which they come.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
