Customer Reviews

A helpful guide for dealing with dysfunctionality at home.

Mr. Jamiolkowski provides the reader with a wide variety of situations and responses, all involving families which are not working well. The areas covered include addictive and abusive behaviors, neglect and overprotection, emotional abuse and religious or political fanaticism. It is the first book I have found which mentions the role siblings, brothers or sisters, might have. The book has a limited but helpful section on where to go for more personal assistance. On the whole, the book appears to be geared toward the teenager through early twenties market.
