The alcoholic family in recovery

Description:

This book explores the process of recovery from addiction as it affects the entire family, presenting an innovative model for understanding and treating families navigating this difficult period. The authors draw upon extensive clinical and research experience to demonstrate how families can be helped to regroup after abstinence, weather periods of emotional upheaval, and find their way to establishing a more stable, yet flexible, family system. Filled with vital therapeutic insights and conceptual guideposts, this book is an essential tool for clinicians from a range of disciplinary backgrounds. Offering an invaluable systems perspective on what is far too often seen as an individual problem, this book will enhance the work of addictions treatment specialists, couple and family therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, and nurses.
