by John Bradshaw (Author)

What you don't know can hurt you--
but it can also lead to self-acceptance and healing.

Family Secrets gives you the tools you need to understand your family--and yourself--in an entirely new way.

In his bestselling books and compelling PBS specials, John Bradshaw has transformed our understanding of how we are shaped by our families. Now join him on this fascinating journey of discovery, which starts with your life today and takes you back through the conflicts, the strengths, and the weaknesses of your parents' generation--and even your grandparents'. Using a powerful technique for exploring your "family tree," you'll trace the visible and invisible patterns that have influenced you. You'll learn about family secrets that are healthy and necessary, and also about the secrets that can limit your wholeness and freedom--even if you don't know they exist.

This work is sometimes painful, but it is always enlightening--filled with the kind of "aha" moments and realizations that make everything fall into place. With John Bradshaw's guidance, you will come to a new appreciation and acceptance of yourself. You will also be able to build more open, honest, and loving relationships with the people who matter most.

All families have secrets. Some secrets are healthy. But others--those John Bradshaw calls "dark secrets"--limit the wholeness and freedom of every member of the family, often generation after generation.
John Bradshaw's compelling new book takes us into the heart of the family's mysterious power to impact our lives. It ex-plores how secrets are created, how they influence us (even if we don't know they exist), and the risks we take in exploring them.
At the core of "Family Secrets is a step-by-step guide to uncovering the secrets of the past and present, using a tool called the genogram to chart key relationships. Through many fascinating examples, this unique book shows how to recognize crucial gaps and silences, reconstruct missing information, and decipher partial memories.
It also offers readers vital advice on how to deal with the truths revealed, plus ways to stay safely and honestly connected with our families.
John Bradshaw's six-part PBS television series, "Family Secrets," first aired in summer 1995, and will remain in syndication in the United States and Canada through 1997. A second new series, "John Bradshaw on Eating Disorders," is also in circulation.
