Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families

The problem of compulsive behavior patterns and addictions manifested by adults who grew up in dysfunctional families is addressed in this PBS lecture, ADULT CHILDREN OF DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES, produced by Denver's KBDI-TV, and America's most prominent self-help expert, John Bradshaw. In this two-part series, John Bradshaw outlines a three-phase process of emotional recovery, uncovery and discovery. This series is a must for those who have long suffered the consequences of being raised with physical or emotional abuse, abandonment, neglect, and shame. John demonstrates how abuse is often carried into our adult lives, contaminates relationships, and effects our emotional health and that of our loved ones.
