" Most family members, of course, cannot see what alcoholism is doing to them. Indeed, family members often deny that the alcoholic member is even an alcoholic.

" Behavioral Psychology. Behaviorism. Behaviorism (or behaviourism), is the science of behavior that focuses on observable behavior only,[1] it is also an approach to psychology that combines elements of philosophy, methodology, and theory.[2] It emerged in the early twentieth century as a reaction to "mentalistic" psychology, which often had difficulty making predictions that could be tested using rigorous experimental methods.
