Critics Review

“Claudia Black is a pioneer, in the true and full sense of the word, in the world of the alcoholic. Her sensitive and compassionate work with the children in alcoholic families has been an incalculable contribution to others in the field. A knowledge of and a familiarity with her work is essential if one would grasp the depth of devastation wrought by those afflicted with the disease. I do not know how any therapist can do an adequate job of healing without a familiarity with her work. It is a landmark in the field!”—Father Joseph Martin

“Claudia Black cares. Her day-to-day clinical work with children of alcoholics comes alive in this book. I’m especially pleased with the attention she gives the grown-up children. You too will feel a sense of identification and closure as you read the pages of It Will Never Happen to Me!—Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse, founder of Onsite, Inc.
