Claudia Black, PhD: Growing Up with Addiction

In millions of homes every day, children grow up in addictive families and abide by certain rules: don't talk, don't trust, don't feel. According to Dr. Claudia Black, the rigid survival roles and youthful coping behaviors these children take on can eventually lead to addictions, abusive relationships, and mental health disorders. Dr. Black is a world-renowned expert on addiction and codependency, a best-selling author and trainer recognized for her pioneering and contemporary work with family systems and addictive disorders. She is the author of the book, It Will Never Happen to Me: Growing Up with Addiction as Youngsters, Adolescents, and Adults.
