Description
Treating Adult Children of Alcoholics showcases the first collection of treatment chapters devoted entirely to a systematic
behavioral analysis of drinking and nondrinking offspring of alcoholic families. The author identifies the functional and behavioral
characteristics that make up the adult children of alcoholics (ACOA) syndrome. This compendium combines current innovations in behavioral
medicine with multi-componential interventions shown effective with the variety of disorders evident in this patient population. This
handbook for practitioners is richly laced with case examples and addresses the needs of therapists seeking fast, effective and proven
treatments for longstanding clinical symptoms of children of alcoholics.
Audience
Substance abuse counselors, psychiatric social workers and clinical psychologists.
