Tracy M. (tracymar) reviewed Very helpul self-empowerment book for ACAs and many others........ on 11/22/2008 + 408 more book reviews

Wholey's Becoming your own Parent was on its way to become a classic in the self-help field when it first came out in the late 1980s and was a Book of the Month club selections; it's still just as relevant. Explaining and clearly defining the symptoms (low self-esteem, guilt) behaviors (compulsive pleasing etc.) of children of dysfunctional families, he presents examples from group therapy sessions with 14 "adult children" - elucidating their dyfunctional patterns and providing guidance in overcoming them.
