The risk of child maltreatment is heightened during the pandemic due to multiple COVID-19 related stressors, such as physical and mental health concerns, economic stress, challenges in homeschooling, marital conflicts and intimate personal violence, and intensified child–parent relationships. Both parental internal (e.g., parenting styles) and external resources (e.g., social support), and parental perceptions toward stressors will affect how parents cope with these stressors, which may exacerbate or mitigate the risk of child maltreatment. Guided by family stress theory, this article identifies COVID-19 related stressors at the family level, and further elaborates on how these stressors are associated with child maltreatment via parents’ resources, perceptions, and coping strategies. Implications for future practice and research are discussed.

Rehabilitation professionals are paying more attention to the family as an influential factor for rehabilitation of people with disabilities and as a recipient of professional services. This essay examines three common family theories that are often found in rehabilitation literature: stage theory, family systems theory, and family stress theory. Its primary purpose is to explore the implications of using each family theory as a tool for understanding families in the rehabilitation process. Every theory is certainly useful for providing professionals with information about some aspects of reality. Yet it may obscure other aspects, just as one cannot see the vase while seeing the two faces in Rubin's ambiguous figure. Rehabilitation professionals should consider whether the theory reveals the aspects that correspond to the goals of their practice.

Stress is a broad and complex phenomenon characterized by environmental demands, internal psychological processes, and physical outcomes. The study of stress is multifaceted and commonly divided into three theoretical perspectives: social, psychological, and biological. The social stress perspective emphasizes how stressful life experiences are embedded into social structures and hierarchies. The psychological stress perspective highlights internal processes that occur during stressful situations, such as individual appraisals of the threat and harm of the stressors and of the ways of coping with such stressors. Finally, the biological stress perspective focuses on the acute and long-term physiological changes that result from stressors and their associated psychological appraisals. Stress and coping are inherently intertwined with adult development.
