Dr. Black is the best

My wife Deborah R.N. and I see many adult children and their loved ones in our psychiatric practice. We have always reommended Dr. Black's books because patients quickly identify with her examples. Her compassion, understanding and kindness come through in her writing and facilitate the helpful, practical suggestions she makes for improvement and change. We highly recommend her book.

I loved this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book helped me understand why I struggle with some of the things I do and helped me take responsibility for how I live my life today. I especially appreciated the 'exercises' wherein you are given the opportunity to reflect and respond to what is being discussed which truly made me become involved in my own healing process. So many 'self-help' books I've read were just a passive read. This one invited and encouraged me to take action and gave me the direction to do just that.
Excellent Book

This book I found to be exceptional in helping you to determine what issues you are dealing with, as well as very practical and workable solutions as to how to begin making some positive corrections to your own life and the way you deal with the difficulties.
Great insight and solutions for both addicted & family.

Claudia Black has an inside track of what it feels like to be a family member in a family where addictive behavior is going on. She is able to write in understandable fashion the complex dynamics that go on in addictions and recovery. She never fails to understand the heart and soul and the sheer pain involved in addiction; she also provides insight and solutions for healing. Great work! All her work is very insightful. This is an author who cares about those who read her books.
