This insightful new book sheds light directly on shame and
guilt--interactive aspects of the human condition that are deeply
involved in the development and treatment of alcoholism and
chemical dependency. Contributors to this valuable book discuss the
process of healing internalized shame within the chemically
dependent client and among the family members. They explore
creative techniqes that foster understanding and coping
strategies--videotaping and storytelling with clay and stuffed
animals. Professionals who are experienced in treating chemically
dependent clients and their families explore shame and the healing
of shame, while examining the culture within which both occur. A
major focus is the destructiveness of shame and guilt--shame keeps
the family from seeking help, erodes self-worth, and produces
destructive secrets that cannot heal, and guilt may circulate
freely between alcoholic and family members, so that everyone
begins to feel responsible for the pain of others.
