Living with a Problem Drinker by Rolande Anderson Pdf

When a family member drinks to excess, the repercussions for the health and well-being of all involved are profound and long-lasting. While it has always been accepted that alcoholism is a major factor in family distress, today there is a clearer understanding of how alcohol problems may be implicated in family upheaval and breakdown. Definitions of alcoholism are also more sophisticated, and the problem may be labelled as hazardous, harmful or dependent drinking. However, the victims of alcohol-fuelled hatred, anger, abuse, fear, neglect and threats do not care about the label. All they focus on is survival. A victim of drunken assault by a family member does not care whether or not the perpetrator is sick, bad or crazy - the hurt and is still the same, no matter what the label. This book looks at how to deal with the damage done to families by alcohol problems, and how to move on, even if the alcoholic denies the problem. Topics include: definitions of alcoholism - is alcoholism a 'disease'? dealing with denial in the alcoholic recognizing how complex family dynamics may contribute to alcohol problems 'coping strategies' such as enabling (accepting unacceptable behaviour) recognising and dealing with negative emotions eg defiance and deep resentment types of problems for family members - mental health, personality issues coping with violence, emotional and physical dealing with money worries and other practical issues such as protecting any children.

This Fellow with the Fabulous Smile by Brendan Kennelly,Åke Persson Pdf

Brendan Kennelly - poet, dramatist, professor, critic, teacher, public speaker, media personality - has captured the imagination in Ireland and abroad for more than three decades. This book offers an understanding of the cultural phenomenon which is Brendan Kennelly through often moving and funny, always penetrating personal responses from a wide range of contributors.The list of contributors bears witness to the breadth of Kennelly's appeal. They include: Bono of rock group U2, television's Gay Byrne, former Taoiseach Charles J. Haughey, rugby international Hugo MacNeill, composer Jane O'Leary, sociologist Harry Ferguson, Sister Stanislaus Kennedy, and writers Derry Jeffares, John B. Keane, Declan Kiberd, Michael Longley, Paula Meehan, and Nell McCafferty (whose description of Kennelly gave the book its title).As well as comments on Kennelly's writing, the book gives insights into areas of his career and activities which do not normally receive attention: for example, his days as a budding writer, his time as a fun-loving student, his interest in sports, his involvement in creative writing workshops in schools and elsewhere, his teaching, his encouragement of young writers, his commercial advertising, his television appearances, his inspiration to other artists.How can someone be both a distinguished professor at Trinity College Dublin and a popular contributor to television programmes? A poet and a TV quizmaster? A former footballer and now a commentator on Irish politics? A master of Greek tragedy and an advertiser of Toyota Cars, Kerrygold Butter and the Allied Irish Bank? This Fellow with the Fabulous Smile will answer all and none of these questions. Brendan Kennelly wasn't Kerryman of the Year for nothing.

Homeless by Gerald Daly Pdf

The causes of homelessness are disputed by both Right and Left. But, few would argue that life on the streets is anything other than dangerous and debilitating. Unemployment, deinstitutionalisation, abuse in the home are among the stories the homeless tell. Voluntary organisations point to the failure of emergency shelters and food banks, the cut-backs in social programmes and the severe shortage of affordable housing. On the international scale, the changing global system has placed new demands on the economies of Europe and north America which have impacted on resources, employment and even political will. This book is the first comprehensive international study of homelessness. The author argues that the category of the homeless must itself be broadened, to encompass those chronically without shelter to those in immediate risk of dispossession, if homelessness is to be tackled effectively (before and after it happens) by public policy, voluntary organisations and the individuals themselves.
