Popis: The disease of alcoholism has long been known to significantly affect family relationships. Nevertheless, the characteristics and needs of these families are frequently not well understood, and treatment of the alcoholic in isolation continues to remain the norm. Family systems theory can provide a framework for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment which recognizes and addresses alcoholism as a family disease.
