Wife And Daughter Early Stage
1,305 wordsFamily treatment has become an ongoing component of most alcoholism treatment programs.

The function of the family photograph does not dissolve at this point. Family photographs and snapshots also preserve ancestral history and perpetuate memories, thereby acting as a means of famil...
