Many adult children of alcoholics and survivors of abuse--and there are more than 64 million in this country alone-continue to repeat their dysfunctional family patterns in failed marriages and relationships; or replay abuse in their jobs; or have addictions to cover up pain; or they allow others to use them; or have blind spots so they cannot see their own dysfunctional patterns. And, some survivors have all of these problems and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternative Healing Beyond Recovery for the Genius\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e offers comprehensive solutions to many of the issues that survivors face.

She began her Life Skills work in New York City thirty years ago with a small group. Those survivors were the first Life Skills class lasting six months. The positive results in participants' lives were so impressive that she began training other professionals including New York City Child Protective Service workers, Texas Parents' Anonymous, and No to Abuse in rural Nevada. Because the Life Skills curriculum is so simple not only professionals but paraprofessionals have learned her work and are teaching it to their clients and groups. Written in a warm, friendly, yet professional manner, Raiguel outlines her techniques so survivors can heal and teach themselves or counselors can use her book as a companion to therapy. The book is a stand-alone curriculum for leading Life Skills groups or working with individuals.
