My Dad Loves Me, My Dad Has a Disease Claudia Black’s decades of experience with young people who have a parent in treatment is the inspiration for this book. The basic premise is that addiction is a disease—the alcoholic/addict is a sick person and not a bad person. The disease affects not only the person with substance use disorder but also family members and loved ones. This updated edition offers children the opportunity to work through their feelings and better understand addiction and recovery. Provides art therapy exercises to facilitate the expression of painful feelings for children who have difficulty verbalizing them. The only book of its kind, with original pictures and stories composed by children ages five through fourteen who were personally treated by Dr. Black. Although designed for young children, it may also be of use to process emotions in adults who grew up in addicted homes.
