Abstract

Seminarians with an alcoholic parent are subject to problems in professional ministry related to that history. Codependency identifies responses by individuals, family systems, and organizations to addiction. They are attempts to restore balance to addicted systems. Four students preparing for ministry volunteered for interviews about personal and family history. All were self-identified children of alcoholics. Three were female. All identified male parents as alcoholic; none identified females. This limited study suggests that codependency presents a useful model for identifying dysfunctional family patterns, and for predicting potentially troublesome areas in ministerial practice.
