5.0 out of 5 stars The Information in The Book Changed My Life., March 6, 2000

Val (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Broken Toys Broken Dreams: Understanding and Healing Codependency, Compulsive Behaviors and Family (Paperback)

I recommend this book whole-heartedly for anyone who would like to change behaviors that they are unhappy with, be able to participate more fully, naturally, and wisely in life, or have any family or childhood-related issues they would like to resolve. Excellent book for those willing to look and willing to change.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, clear, concise, readable book., May 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Broken Toys Broken Dreams: Understanding and Healing Codependency, Compulsive Behaviors and Family (Paperback)

This is the first book that really looks candidly at the problems that individuals face when they are codependent. Throughout the book, Terry Kellogg refuses to excuse or deny behaviours whilst connecting with the multifacets of this problem. Easy language but a difficult painful read.
