Until recently, researchers have viewed families that were not composed of the traditional biological mother and father as deficient or incomplete. Research comparing the effects of family structure on children has often labeled single-mother families as "female-headed," conceptually reducing the importance of the father and implying that less than optimal development of children is then to be attributed to maternal deficiency or failure. Similarly, the impact of maternal employment on children is increasingly being studied, with many researchers agreeing that adolescent girls with employed mothers are more likely to develop high self-esteem, independence, and nontraditional career aspirations than adolescent girls with nonemployed mothers. This study focused on a unique, understudied population, talented at-risk adolescent girls. Experts on giftedness have found that often talented adolescent girls are at-risk for not accomplishing their career aspirations due to a myriad of internal and external barriers. Using a causal comparative design, this study examined the effects of these two family variables, family structure and maternal employment status, on the self- esteem, educational self-efficacy, at-risk behaviors, and career aspirations of 102 talented at-risk adolescent girls. Girls were classified by family structure (intact, blended, and single-mother families) and a series of oneway analyses of variances were conducted. Only one difference was revealed which indicated that girls from intact families had more suicidal behaviors than girls from single-mother families. When girls were grouped according to maternal employment status (employed or nonemployed), no differences were found across all of the dependent variables. These nonsignificant findings for the majority of the outcome variables help to dispel the stereotypes of the negative effects of blended and single-mother families on adolescents. They also support the need to replace the deficit comparison model approach with a more affirmative approach that legitimatizes family in all its forms. Counseling psychologists need to be aware of the heterogeneity within any family structure as well as similar issues that all families share. Increased awareness of their own biases and stereotypes regarding family forms and the effects of maternal employment is essential to ethical practice with these families. Whether in vocational or personal counseling, it is essential foy counseling psychologists to be aware of the internal and external barriers that place talented adolescent girls at-risk for not reaching their full potential. Further, parents, teachers, and school counselors need to be educated about the special needs of this population.
