Addiction Dilemmas
Family Experiences from Literature and Research and their Lessons for Practice
Ebook (PDF Format)

Addiction Dilemmas explores the impact of addiction on those closest to the individuals affected - their families. Many barriers can stand in the way of family members receiving help, not least a lack of available services and a failure on the part of professionals and their organisations to fully appreciate the nature of the dilemmas which they face. This book is based on a combination of personal interviews from scientific research, accounts from biography and autobiography (featuring well-known names both past and present) and excerpts from well-informed works of literature. The book's core theme is the stress faced by family members when a close relative has an addiction problem, and the coping strategies which others in similar situations have found useful. By tracing the same dilemmas through a range of contexts, Jim Orford offers unique insights to professionals who deal with addicts and their families, researchers, policy makers and ultimately family members themselves. Sources include The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë, A Chancer by James Kelman, Long Day's Journey into Night by Eugene O'Neill, and biographies of close relatives of Dylan Thomas and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
