by John C. Friel
It is estimated that as many as 34 million people grew
up in alcoholic homes but what about the rest of us? The
authors provide a readable explanation of what happens
to those of us who have had no alcoholism, but did have
perfectionism, workaholism, compulsive overeating,
intimacy problems, etc. |

.The
Alcoholic Family, by Peter M.D. Steinglass
This path breaking book paints a radical new picture of
alcoholism, offering powerful evidence that most chronic
alcoholics live out their lives in intact, relatively quiet
family environments. The authors show, however, that living
in an alcoholic family has profound effects on family
members, both drinkers and nondrinkers. |
