Page v About The Authors John C. Friel, Ph.D., is a psychologist in private practice in St. Paul, Minnesota; Director of the St. Paul/Minneapolis Lifeworks Clinic, an intensive, short-term treatment program for Adult Child, Codependency, Addiction and compulsivity issues; and adjunct Associate Professor of Psychology at St. Mary's College Graduate Center in Minneapolis. Dr. Friel earned his B.A. in psychology from the University of San Francisco in 1969, and his Ph.D. in psychology from West Virginia University in 1976. He is a nationally recognized author, trainer, speaker and consultant in the areas of dysfunctional family systems, co-dependency, adult child issues, stress and addictions; and has worked in these areas with the University of Minnesota Medical School, the Gillette Company, Graco Corporation, NCR/Comten, the Minnesota State Bar Association and numerous other corporations, state agencies, treatment centers, hospitals and small businesses. A native of Marin County, California, Dr. Friel has lived in Minnesota since 1973. Linda D. Friel, M.A., C.C.D.P., specializes in therapy for Adult Children, Co-dependency issues and for Survivors of Physical, Sexual and Emotional Abuse. She designed and implemented one of the first hospital-based co-dependency treatment programs in the United States, and is also a nationally-recognized author, trainer and consultant in the areas of dysfunctional families, co-dependency, adult child issues and addictions. A native of Minneapolis, Linda earned her B.A. from Mankato State University in 1971, taught special education classes for eight years and earned an M.A. in Counseling and Psychological Services from St. Mary's College in Minnesota in 1980.

Page vii Preface The examples and case studies used throughout this book are composites of individuals and families with whom we have worked over the years. The details and specifics of the cases, such as geographical location, job descriptions and names, have been changed for purposes of anonymity. In all other respects these are very typical cases of Adult Children. Throughout this book we have tried to use case examples that typify different symptoms and addictions so that the reader can get a feel for the variety of dysfunctional lifestyles that develop in Adult Children. By no means have we been able to exemplify in the case studies all of the possible dysfunctional lifestyles and symptoms that can occur. In truth, there are as many case examples as there are people. As we try to stress throughout this book, recovery is not something that can be done alone; and in many cases, it cannot be done without professional help. A book such as this is written to provide what we feel can be helpful information as part of a much more comprehensive program of recovery.
