"One rainy Thurdsay afternoon I made the decision to reclaim and champion my inner child. I found him frightened to the point of terror. At first he did not trust me and would not go with me. Only by persisting in my efforts to talk to him and insisting that I would not leave him did he begin to trust me. In this book I described the stages of the journey that allowed me to become the guardian and champion of my inner child. That journey has changed my life." Selected Reading Questionnaire.

Bradshaw on the Family: A Revolutionary Way of Self Discovery
by John Bradshaw

Why I picked up this book: I had this in my library and had never read it. I was interested to read what he had to say in this book.

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.

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.

Thoughts: I appreciate he has a Christian worldview. He has history of working with people in the family setting and uses research to guide his work which I really like. He sees the introjects received from family and a Myriad of issues in the United States. He talks about AOD issues, eating disorders, self esteem, domestic violence, abuse, compulsivity, workaholics,

Why finished this read: I am a clinical Psychologist with an emphasis is Family Systems so this book was right up my alley and I wanted to read more so this was easy to finish. I was taught a family functions as a system but it is not a system but he called the family a system. I see this book as full of important concepts and he put out many over the years. I’m thankful I read it.

That's an interesting book. It has a theoretical-practical approach through which you can learn and practice at the same time. Bradshaw's writing style is compelling and motivating. As a downside, the book makes far too many references to other self-help books written by the author's colleagues. Nevertheless, I would recommend it.

A narcissistic, alcoholic, and abusive mother who was there to raise the kids from multiple fathers. A mostly absent, drug addicted, abusive father who wanted nothing to do with his first two children (my brother and I). A child that wanted to do everything in their power to do right by the both of them, despite having to destroy their own personhood and self esteem along the way.
I feel like this book was made for me, and I'm more than glad I happened to come across it on accident while doing freelance work. It has helped me work through a lot of my memories and feelings. I have come across memories that didn't seem too bad until I brought them up with other people and they were disgusted and shocked by what I was saying. Yet I have also come across memories that I'm not sure actually happened to begin with.
This book is doing wonders for my wounded inner child. I've seen several therapists, been on different medications, and had finally given up on trying to move forward with my life. I had decided to stuff it all down further and further until I almost couldn't reach it besides the random painfully intrusive thought here and there. After having my first baby, I knew I needed to do something, I just didn't know what would work. Oddly enough, this book is working better than anything else has thus far. My only qualm is the occasional vague religious undertones that leads me to feel like perhaps I can't fully recover and move forward without some sort of diety/higher power(s). I do like, however, that it is accepting of all theistic/spiritual leanings.
I do recommend this book, and have personally recommended it to two different people in my life. It's likely not for everyone, but it doesn't hurt to give it a try!
