Revised and expanded for today's recovering person, family, and concerned others, this classic piece defines the roles of the alcoholic and those who are close to the alcoholic. This new version includes easier-to-understand, more accessible language and expanded descriptions of The Enabler, The Victim, and The Provoker roles. Alcoholism: A Merry-Go-Round Named Denial now also includes a section on the disease in adolescents and seniors -- increasing its value to everyone touched by substance abuse.
