Another Chance: Hope and Health for the Alcoholic Family

Customer Reviews:

Alcoholism is a family disease; there is hope for recovery.

By A Customer - July 10, 1999

This book represents a solid foundation for understanding the hope underlying the health and recovery for the alcoholic family.Virginia Satir, a teacher of Sharon Wegscheider Cruse, and her contributions to family therapy are applied to understanding the roles within the family, the dysfunctional process, and the role of the counselor in assisting the re-emergence of hope.Alcoholism is understood as a family disease that creates heroes, scapegoats, lost children, and mascots as a means of survival. The positive impact of intervention on each of the family members describes how both dependents and individuals fare in living with feelings, and the forgiveness that occurs with the recovery of the whole person.This book made a difference in my understanding of treatment and recovery.

But it's an even better text if you suspect that things in your family of origin weren't so normal after all. This was the book that got me started on my journey towards recovery from codependency. Since family system problems tend find their way into non alcolic families as well, this text is applicable to all kinds of people that may have found themselves growing up in the proverbial... read more
