Abstract:
With the history of the Adult Children of Alcoholics movement as an introductory backdrop, the author explains the role of early childhood trauma in dysfunctional behaviors occurring in adulthood. Particular aspects of this form of childhood trauma she focused on includes early attachment and self-regulation, link between ACOA/Co-dependent and childhood trauma, and family dynamics that can lead to emotional deregulation. Balancing her analysis of the seemingly unconquerable forces is an acknowledgement that, with proper support networks, recovery for alcoholics and their adult children is possible.
