Recovery: A Guide for Adult Children of Alcoholics
1985
This book explores the secrets, fears, hopes, and issues that confront adult children of alcoholics. Authors and widely respected therapists and ACOA workshop leaders Herbert Gravitz and Julie Bowden detail in a clear question-and-answer format the challenges of control and inadequacy that ACOAs face as they struggle for recovery and understanding, stage-by-stage: survival, emergent awareness, core issues, transformations, integration, genesis. If you feel troubled by your past, Recovery will start you on the path of self-awareness, as it explores the searching questions adult children of alcoholics seek to have answered: How can I overcome my need for control? Do all ACOAs play the same kind of roles in the family? How do I overcome my fear of intimacy? What is all-or-none functioning? How can ACOAs maintain self-confidence & awareness after recovery? How do ACOAs handle the family after understanding its influence?
