Alcoholism and Its Adult Children

Abstract: (5pp)Janet Geringer Woititz's (1990) Adult Children of Alcoholics synthesizes the signs that may enable any substance abuse counselor to recognize a client who is an ACoA, as many individuals, unfortunately, particularly students caught up in the roles or behaviors, are not forthcoming with this information, and a counselor unfamiliar with characteristics of ACoAs may misdiagnosis what is going on with his/her client if s/he is not aware that the client comes from this type of background. Bibliography lists one source.
