Note from Claudia Black: My professional career began as a young social worker working with alcoholics and being asked to develop family programming. This was the beginning of my journey into understanding the impact of addiction on children and the early work of the adult child movement. The complexities became apparent quickly and I began to see, 1) depression among spouses and partners, children young and old, and certainly with the addicted client, 2) chronic anger and/or anger avoidance were significant issues with family members and the addict, 3) relapse was both pervasive and destructive for all involved, and 4) it was apparent that there existed a tremendous need for programming and direct work around early family recovery. I began to look at all these core issues and ultimately this became the foundation for my work that many years later led me to creating these four tools for professionals. It is my hope you will find these materials both inspiring and valuable in your work.
