A Ghost in the Closet: Is There an Alcoholic Hiding? an Honest Look at Alcoholism

Rating:
Summary: Insightful
Review: As the spouse of an alcoholic in the late stages of the disease, I found this book to be a great resource. I finally saw into the mind of the alcoholic-the pain, the low self-esteem, the mental disorders that develop. My alcoholic is in complete denial, but I find great hope from this book and by learning more about the disease I am better able to detach and feel more compassion for my spouse. Other books just didn't reach me this way.

Summary: The BEST on this Subject
Review: The book is extremely comprehensive and well written, the best I have found on this subject. Its material has been very extensively researched. I am grateful to Dale for chapter two that provided me with a personal introspect of "The Alcoholic Mind", it helped tremendously to understand where all this came from in me, and for what I will always need to be on guard.
