Understanding Co-Dependency [Paperback]

Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse (Author), Joseph Cruse (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 1990 | ISBN-10: 1558740775 | ISBN-13: 978-1558740778

• What is co-dependency
• How does co-dependency happen?
• Who is affected by co-dependency?
• What can be done for a co-dependent?
• Am I a co-dependent?

Understanding Co-dependency answers these questions and develops a scientifically based framework for separating the person and their past from their current disease or disorder. It places our past history and present environment (marriage, job, personal life) in their proper perspectives and shows us how to build a happy, healthy life.

The time has come for a book that establishes the fundamentals of co-dependency and Understanding Co-dependency is that book.

This review is from: Understanding Co-Dependency (Paperback)

This is a slim volume that communicates a complex and common psychological situation in language that is accessible and useful. It's content and its format both make it very useful to me in my pastoral psychotherapy practice. To gain depth in understanding codependency, more advanced practitioners/clients may want a heftier volume. But for a useful introductory survey, this book is a must.
