Abstract

An estimated 15 million children are being raised in alcoholic homes in the United States today (Black, 1981). "Parental alcoholism is a form of psychological maltreatment of children" (Tharinger & Koranek, 1988, p. 166). Black (1981) stated that the words which describe living in an alcoholic family are inconsistency and unpredictability. The rules in alcoholic families are described as "inhuman, rigid, and designed to keep the system closed" (Wegscheider, 1981, p. 81). The family rules are Don't Talk, Don't Trust, and Don't Feel (Black, 1981).
