Codependency book,

This review is from: Diagnosing and Treating Codependence: A Guide for Professionals Who Work with Chemical Dependents, Their Spouses, and Children (Professional Series) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent tool to use as a reference guide for treating the drug and alcohol clientele and their families. It reads more like a textbook, so I recommend it for a counselors ( psychiatrist, psychologist or therapists) manual only, not for clientele or families to read. It seems to be very helpful in understanding all aspects of codependency and how to apply treatment that will aid in facilitating change within the individual and families. It has concrete information to use as a guide as well as ideas to suggest that the professionals revising the DSM-TR that perhaps this diagnosis may need to be included in the manual as an adjunct reference in the future.

This review is from: Diagnosing and Treating Codependence: A Guide for Professionals Who Work with Chemical Dependents, Their Spouses, and Children (Professional Series) (Paperback)
Dr. Cermak presents the subject of Co-Dependence in an intriguing manner. From his introduction with a recap of the Narcissus and Echo tale to his treatment regimen, and especially including his diagnostic criteria, his work is well thought out and presented. I highly recommend this book for anyone who works with chemically dependent clients or their families.
