Book Reviews of Bradshaw on the Family
Book Review: helpful ideas, but poorly written and organized
Summary: 2 Stars
I think there are a lot of good ideas in this book that have helped me and could help others, but unfortunately it was painful to get through. Bradshaw uses too much jargon and needlessly creates some of his own hokey jargon. The personal examples are all extreme cases, leaving those of us who had difficult childhoods but not Lifetime Drama-material childhoods wondering if maybe we're making too much of things. I found the lists and summaries at the end of each chapter unhelpful and irritating. Bradshaw is repetitive, and goes off on tangents too easily. I also just don't like his tone, which comes off as a bit arrogant. Given all of that, I am glad that I read this book as it gave me a lot to think about and work on. It also helped me understand that some of what I went through as a child was not normal, and had consequences for my emotional development. As I read this book I wanted to keep reading in case there was more to learn, but I kept thinking, "there must be a better written book on this subject."
Summary of Bradshaw on the Family
Bradshaw focuses on the dynamics of the family, how the rules and attitudes learned while growing up become encoded within each family member. He guides us out of our dysfunction to wholeness and teaches us that bad beginnings can be remedied. Families can be healed and we as individuals can be healed. When we heal ourselves, we heal the world..Personal Growth Books
