From the jacket flap

All families have secrets. Some secrets are healthy. But others--those John Bradshaw calls "dark secrets"--limit the wholeness and freedom of every member of the family, often generation after generation.

At the core of "Family Secrets is a step-by-step guide to uncovering the secrets of the past and present, using a tool called the genogram to chart key relationships.

It also offers readers vital advice on how to deal with the truths revealed, plus ways to stay safely and honestly connected with our families.
