Beautifully written, the book is sure to help readers do more efficacious therapy with recovering families." -Jerome D. Levin, PhD, New School for Social Research "Utilizing vivid case examples, Brown and Lewis document the impact of alcoholism and recovery on individual family members and the family as a whole, and identify the clinical issues characterizing each stage of the recovery process. Beginning and experienced clinicians alike will benefit from reading this useful book." -S. Lala Ashenberg Straussner, DSW, CAS, New York University "The Alcoholic Family in Recovery is a major contribution to the addiction field. For years, there has been talk of the 'family disease' without a comprehensive model for family treatment. Brown and Lewis now provide a clear, concise, accessible, clinically sound, theoretically based, and much-needed map for working with families." -Stephanie Covington, PhD, LCSW, author of A Woman's Way through the Twelve Steps Vissza
