Infos

Is there a silver lining to growing up in a dysfunctional family? Bestselling recovery author Karen Casey looks at stories of people who grew up in dysfunctional families and 'the good stuff' that can come from the experience. 'Throughout my many decades in recovery rooms I have interacted with thousands of women and men whose journeys reveal, in detail, the harrowing history of dysfunction that has troubled their lives,' says Casey. 'But what is also apparent in their stories is their eventual and quite triumphant survival, often against extreme odds.'
Casey interviewed more than 24 survivors of families rife with dysfunction, survivors who willingly shared their stories and came to realize they had, surprisingly, thrived as the result of their often harrowing experiences. InThe Good Stuff from Growing Up in a Dysfunctional Family, Casey shares the stories and the skills these survivors developed to live more creative and fulfilling lives.

Is there a silver lining to growing up in a dysfunctional family? Twenty-four survivors recount their stories-and the strengths forged in the chaos. Living in a dysfunctional family isn't easy. But while you can't choose where you come from, you can choose the lessons you take away. Bestselling recovery author Karen Casey looks at stories of people who grew up in dysfunctional families and "e;the good stuff"e; that can, ironically, come from the experience. She interviews survivors who emerged from the fires of turbulent households affected by abuse, addiction, or other problems, and reveals how they came to process their often-harrowing personal trials and, against the odds, triumph over their difficulties using skills they honed in response to their childhoods. In The Good Stuff from Growing Up in a Dysfunctional Family, Casey reveals the stories and the skills they developed to live more creative and fulfilling lives, and not just survive but thrive. "e;Using her interviews as groundwork, she explores the benefits that result from surviving in a dysfunctional family, including resiliency, perseverance, a sense of humor, forgiveness, kindness, and the ability to discern real love."e; Publishers Weekly"e;You just can't go wrong with Karen Casey."e; Earnie Larson, author of Stage II Recovery
