Perfect Daughters
Adult Daughters of Alcoholics
Author: Dr. Robert J. Ackerman, Ph.D.
Overview
First published as a groundbreaking work in the Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoA) movement, Perfect Daughters explores the unique struggles faced by women raised in alcoholic or otherwise dysfunctional families. These “perfect daughters” often feel driven to perform flawlessly, assume responsibility for the failures of others, and struggle with low self-worth. They may be drawn to chemically dependent partners or fall into addiction themselves.
This updated edition expands on the original classic, weaving together the voices of over 1,200 women who share their experiences of pain, resilience, and recovery. With new chapters on eating disorders and abuse, as well as letters from daughters in various stages of healing, the book provides validation, guidance, and practical suggestions for growth.
