DESCRIPTION:
He helps you heal yourself and then, using what you have learned helps you heal your family. Using the latest family research and recovery material in this new edition, Bradshaw also explores the individual in both a family and societal setting. You will learn how unhealthy rules of behavior are passed down from parents to children, and the destructive effect this process has on our society. Based on the public television series of the same name, Bradshaw On: The Family is John Bradshaw's seminal work on the dynamics of families that has sold more than a million copies since its original publication in 1988. He shows you ways to escape the tyranny of family-reinforced behavior traps--from addiction and co-dependency to loss of will and denial--and demonstrates how to make conscious choices that will transform your life and the lives of your loved ones. He helps you re-envision societal conflicts from the perspective of a global family, and shares with you the power of deep democracy: how the choices you make every day can affect--and improve--your world.. Finally, Bradshaw extends this idea to our society: by returning yourself and your family to emotional health, you can heal the world in which you live. Within its pages, you will discover the cause of emotionally impaired families

Families each have their own unique culture which creates an emotional environment that children learn from & absorb. People growi.
