HCI, The Life Issues Publisher has been publishing books that change lives since 1977. Originally operating as a publisher of informational pamphlets for the recovery community, HCI's moved into mainstream publishing in the 1980s with its first New York Times bestseller, the 1983 Adult Children of Alcoholics by Dr. Janet Woititz's, a veritable "bible" of the ACOA movement.
