It is estimated that as many as 34 million people grew up in alcoholic homes. But what about the rest of us? What about families that had no alcoholism, but did have perfectionism, workaholism, compulsive overeating, intimacy problems, depression, problems in expressing feelings, plus all the other personality traits that can produce a family system much like an alcoholic one?

Countless millions of us struggle with these kinds of dysfunctions every day, and until very recently we struggled alone. Pulling together both theory and clinical practice, John and Linda Friel provide a readable explanation of what happened to us and how we can rectify it.

When Families Get Off Course

In a healthy family, children’s needs for security, warmth, nurturance and guidance are met most of the time. These children enter adulthood with a sense of security and trust that is inside of themselves.

In dysfunctional families, these needs are not met enough or at all, and these children enter adulthood with a sense of incompleteness, mistrust and fear inside of themselves, along with a strong need for some kind of security outside of themselves.

As adults who grew up in troubled families, we constantly seek to fill up the empty parts inside of us that were never met while we were growing up, and it is the external search for our unmet needs that leads us into addictive lifestyles.

Breaking the addictive cycle that leads to generations of dysfunction within families is the purpose of this book.
