Publisher description
All families keep secrets, from the world and from one another. Was a child born out of wedlock? Is a brother using drugs? According to Evan Imber-Black, a psychiatry professor and the director of program development at New York City's Ackerman Institute for the Family, there's an important difference between healthy privacy that promotes necessary boundaries and toxic secrets that poison relationships between family members and keep people from getting help. In fact, Imber-Black says, every secret is different, and the decision whether or not to reveal a secret can be painfully difficult. In this comprehensive, very intelligent book, she covers all the kinds of secrets readers are likely to be keeping (or have been kept from knowing), and gives thoughtful advice on what to do about each of them.
