3.0 out of 5 stars Sequal to "The Peter Pan Syndrome", September 26, 2001

Many women who have read "The Peter Pan Syndrome" by Dr. Dan Kiley were left wondering how they could start to improve their own situation in the relationship. Dr. Kiley attempted to answer these questions with this book. Although mostly a series of case studies it did have some good points. Chapters included potential victims, falling in the Wendy trap, denial and effects, hitting bottom, and how to resolve the Wendy Dilemma by becomming a Tinkerbell. I strongly recommend reading this book after the "Peter Pan Syndrome" or you will be confused with some of his references.

The last chapter on transitioning to a Tinkerbell was the most enlightening for me; it was one thing that the first book did not cover in enough detail.

Wow!!! This book is eye opening. It helped me to see why women are inclined to "mother" their men!!! There are underlying pyschological reasons women decide to get into relationships where they are acting like a mother ( putting the mans needs and feelings before their own). This book explains why. If your giving more than your getting you need to read this book!!! And then read Pat Allens "Getting to I do"

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a must read for every woman, December 21, 2011
