Beyond the Illusion: Choices for Children of Alcoholism
1989
Children who grow up with an alcoholic parent grow up in a world of illusion - illusions artfully woven by their parents and illusions the children present to others and to themselves. A sensitive portrayal of these illusions and their devastating impact on the individual is presented here with vivid clinical detail. The author shows that as a person's understanding increases, so does the awareness that there are choices. Children of alcoholism no longer need to deceive themselves or others. Through a careful analysis of strategies for change the author illustrates how adult children of alcoholics can discover new choices that allow them to grow beyond the illusion.
