In this warm, instructional, and one-of-a-kind presentation, Claudia Black offers mothers and fathers a language in which to talk with their kids of any age about drugs and alcohol. She emphasizes that children deserve to understand addiction for a host of reasons:

Compulsive: Both partners crave intensity without sharing any real substance. Apathetic: Both partners seek to avoid pain; they want to get along with each other with a minimum of involvement, expectations, and pain. Healthy: Both partners find mutual respect and happiness in a relationship that does have its ups and downs. $129.95 • Running time: 33 minutes

The Triggering Effect Putting your finger on the trigger of a gun indicates a bullet is about to be fired.
