Double Duty: Sexual Abuse - Softcover

Chemical dependency and incest often coexist in the same family. Incest is an overwhelming, damaging, and humiliating assault on a child's mind, soul and body. It is a major act of betrayal, for not only is the body violated, but the child's trust and love are violated as well. When sexual abuse takes place in an already dysfunctional alcoholic family the likelihood of the of the abuse continuing is greater, which compounds the damage. Dr. Claudia Black is an acknowledged pioneer in this field of family therapy. Her work included the million-seller book, "It Will Never Happen To Me" which has become the guide for children of alcoholics(COA) and adult children of alcoholics (ACOA's). A skillful therapist, Dr. Black is also a true teacher; she educated many thousands through her lectures and films.
