Summary

Parents with mental health (MH) problems are often automatically seen as placing children at risk. The scientific support for this assumption, however, has been questioned (Benjet et al., 2003). It has led to failures to support the rights of such parents and ignoring their special service needs. A broader contextually based view of risk has been suggested which includes delineating the transdiagnostic underlying cognitive and neurocognitive mechanisms of risk to transmission of MH problems to children. In this chapter, we review the early work on risk that focused on severe parental psychopathology (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder) and the more recent broadening of concerns to other disorders (e.g., substance use, PTSD, ADHD). From the vantage point of normative family functioning, we describe domains where parents with MH problems may encounter contextual and person-based obstacles to the completion of crucial tasks required in parenting and overview links to risk in these domains. We delineate methodological issues and provide a transdiagnostic overview of core areas of impairment emphasizing a cognitive neuroscience perspective. Finally, we cover practice and policy issues (termination of parental rights; access to intervention).
