This volume combines research findings and personal experience of an ACoA, reviewing and critiquing the controlled research literature and clinical findings. Chapters dispel the myths and unsupported claims regarding ACoAs and alcoholic families, including excessively high rates of child abuse, the over-prediction of serious effects of being an ACoA, and the disease model of alcoholism.
