Here is an excellent illustration of the six basic roles in an alcoholic family. Each family member is wearing their suggested name. Each name correlates with the birth order of the child. The "Hero" is depicted repairing the chair leg his father is standing on. As the first born, the Hero is always repairing his dad's alcohol related damages. . Mom is bringing dad a beer, 2nd born, the "Scape Goat" is blamed for everything negative. The six roles are listed on the Internet. As a poster or handout this illustration makes for lots of attention.
