Book description
Problem drinkers destroy not just themselves but their loved ones.
Millions of families are trapped by alcohol-related problems such as
relationship breakdown, illness, child abuse, domestic violence,
sexual problems, and major mental health problems including
depression. Living with a Problem Drinker analyses the family dynamics
linked with excess, binge and dependent drinking, and suggests coping
skills for people stuck in alcohol-fuelled unhappy relationships. It
looks at types of help, including counselling and self-help groups,
and how to protect children in alcoholic homes. Whatever the misery,
there is a way out.
