First published in 1989 when the plight of children of alcoholics was initially brought to public attention, Working with Children of Alcoholics remains an essential tool for professionals that specifically addresses the needs of children growing up in alcoholic families. Expanding from the original
The second edition of this text draws on research to: look at the issue of alcoholism from a systems perspective of family functioning; place alcoholism in a larger cultural context; examine the effects of alcoholism on essential family processes; help identify problems and difficulties to which even resilient children of alcoholics are prone; address academic performance and behavioural problems; guide practitioners through the process of identifying and treating children and other members of alcoholics' families.
