Description
Understanding Dysfunctional Families: A Guide to Healing For many, growing up in a family with dysfunctional patterns can have a lasting impact. While some families struggle with alcoholism, others may face perfectionism, workaholism, compulsive overeating, intimacy problems, and depression. These issues can create a family system that feels similar to an alcoholic one, leaving individuals feeling lost and unsure of how to move forward. John and Linda Friel offer a comprehensive explanation of these dynamics, drawing on both theory and clinical practice. Their approach provides a readable guide for understanding what happened and how to rectify it. With this insight, readers can begin to heal and rebuild their lives. This book provides a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand and overcome the challenges of a dysfunctional family system.
