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"

This book really help for understand why you fell down in the Wendy's trap. I recommended. You must read The Peter Pan syndrome before for understand better this book.

This is a great book for awareness and help. If you do not understand co-dependency this book will open your eyes to understand what you are doing that continues co-addiction. It helps to understand that you do not change the other person; you change yourself. Then you realize why your life has not been working.

Written for people, not professionals, I've found this to be a great learning tool for understanding the "What's" and "Why's" to motives in relationships.
