Alcoholism affects not only the person suffering from the
disease but the alcoholic’s family as well. This program takes an in-depth look at
the effects of alcoholism on both the individual and the family, contrasting an urban and
a rural home linked by the common problem of alcoholism. From the alcoholic to his or her
spouse and their children, everyone is affected. As other family members seek to cope and
prevent the destruction of the family, unhealthy behavioral patterns often emerge: spouses
face frustration, shame, and a feeling of helplessness, and children try to hide the
problem, creating stresses they can carry with them for the rest of their lives. The
program provides a broad insight into alcoholism and how it affects those on its
periphery. (24 minutes, color)
