About this product

Product Information

Based on the public television series of the same name, Bradshaw On: The Family is John Bradshaw's seminal work on the dynamics of families that has sold more than a million copies since its original publication in 1988. Within its pages, you will discover the cause of emotionally impaired families. You will learn how unhealthy rules of behavior are passed down from parents to children, and the destructive effect this process has on our society. Using the latest family research and recovery material in this new edition, Bradshaw also explores the individual in both a family and societal setting. He shows you ways to escape the tyranny of family-reinforced behavior traps--from addiction and co-dependency to loss of will and denial--and demonstrates how to make conscious choices that will transform your life and the lives of your loved ones. He helps you heal yourself and then, using what you have learned helps you heal your family. Finally, Bradshaw extends this idea to our society: by returning yourself and your family to emotional health, you can heal the world in which you live. He helps you reenvision societal conflicts from the perspective of a global family, and shares with you the power of deep democracy: how the choices you make every day can affect--and improve--your world.

An oldie but goodie
This book from "the past" is still an excellent work. I bought it for a friend who is finding the work helpful in moving on from certain issues. Nothing is really new under the sun for family pain and this author hits close to home with healing and wisdom.

Do not buy this book
I bought this book because my counselor was told by a colleague that it was a good book to use in therapy. My counselor and I now make jokes about how awful this book was ! There are several levels of awfulness to this book: 1) Bradshaw is a big fan of using multisyllabic psychobabble to make you think he knows what he is talking about. So try this - pick out one paragraph in the book, and go through sentence by sentence, and translate it to everyday English. To your shock and dismay you will discover he isn't actually saying anything. I'd give you an example here of a translation, but frankly I threw the book away (it's not even worth donating). 2) I've read and used many therapy books on families that are so much easier to understand, offer much better insight into families, and ...

To your shock and dismay you will discover he isn't actually saying anything. I'd give you an example here of a translation, but frankly I threw the book away (it's not even worth donating). 2) I've read and used many therapy books on families that are so much easier to understand, offer much better insight into families, and have much better advice on how to explore issues and figure out how to handle them. Just because you have to work hard to read this book doesn't mean it has better advice. About 90% of the books I've read and used in counseling are superior to this book. As far as I am concerned this book does not offer any therapeutic value (and my counselor agrees with me). 3) It takes about 2 pages to get totally tired of Bradshaw's superior attitude. Being in counseling is hard enough. Bradshaw is really condescending and without compassion. You'd be better off using a book that has good information and confronts issues head-on without the power trip attitude. Too bad he doesn't give advice on how to deal with a person like himself! 4) Bradshaw does not help you take his (bad) insights and advice and apply it to your own life. Many therapy books have companion workbooks and such to help you do this, or at least guides within the book to help you connect what you are learning with your own life. It's not enough to develop insights into what is going on; to get better you actually need to apply what you learn. So in the end you can't really DO anything with Bradshaw's book - it never reaches beyond feigned intellectualism to actually help you deal with your life. So, BE NICE TO YOURSELF AND DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!! Instead, help yourself by buying a book by Cloud, Townsend, Allender, Dobson, or any of the other great therapist-writers who combine great (and better) insight, clear steps to work through issues, and compassion.

a good book for young parents and those having issues associating
I am just through with the first chapter. The book appears to be written at a level that is easy to understand yet it provides some insight into why we are the way we are. This would be a good book for young parents and those having issues associating with others. My only concern is that this book is real shy on personal responsibility. It talks about every problem as if they come from our family. I'm keeping an open mind, but there is a point in a person's life when we should have overcome our raising. Bradshaw's belief is that all our compulsions and self image problems come from our parents.I am just through with the first chapter.

The Family
I love this book because it gives insight into various aspects of family life that may lead to disfunction resulting in depression, rage and even addiction. It was a great aide in adding to the recovery of various family members. It helped me to realize what leads me to behave the way I do and helped me to change my behavior. It showed me how even minor influences during my childhood have effected me as an adult. I have become a much better mother and person as a result. My life has changed drastically. I purchased the book to give it to others to help them as John Bradshaw has helped me.I love this book because it gives insight into various aspects of family life that may lead to disfunction resulting in depression, rage and even addiction.

A book, that when actually read and understood, says nothing
I agree with the previous reviewer, freedomforhealth. This book is a joke, and the counseling community hyped it mostly because it was so hard to read, that claiming to have read it gave a person a certain prestige. It was safe to claim to have read it, because so few people actually understood it, that you didn't have to worry about anyone asking you for specifics. The book was a hot topic for a couple of years at counseling conferences and the like. Now that more professionals have actually read the book with understanding, those who actually know what it says are at a loss of what to say when others claim to have read the book and say it is so wonderful. Very awkward.I agree with the previous reviewer, freedomforhealth.
