Combining physical abuse and negligence in the same term makes it clear whether the relationship between alcohol and drug use and abuse is a result of suppression of alcohol and drug release, whether violent behavior regardless of alcohol or drug use not. It is considered whether the use of alcohol and drugs are neglected for signs of neglect, or long-term or excessive drinking and / or decline in drug use. (1993, p. 189)
