DESCRIPTION:
G. Jordan said My new ACA Bible. Whoever said it was too cookbook hasn't appreciated the the value of having a thorough one at hand. I loved the Friel's approach. It is a bit harder on the ego than the Woititz ACOA book but this one includes ALL dysfunctions, and I know even after years in recovery I will still find valuable resources in this book to guide me along my bumpy journey. As one who has NO idea what is normal, yet somehow manages to function at the basi. Amazon Customer said Highly Informative and educational. Essential for those of us that grew up in dysfunctional families (which is estimated to be about 85% of the population) This book covers everything from whether to answer the phone because someone else thinks you should to more serious things like leaving situations that do not benefit you. If you are looking to find out what normal looks likethen this book is for you!. KLennon said Not what I was looking for. I started reading this book, but quickly realized it wasn't what I had hoped. I tried searching through for help on specific topics, too, but didn't find the answers I needed.Hard to describe what I hoped this book would be. I guess the title is a bit of a misnomer to me.
