Synopsis In this thorough examination of codependence, Pia Mellody, who has served as a consultant at The Meadows treatment center in Wickenburg, Arizona, discusses its symptoms and causes and the many family situations that may create a codependent adult. She discusses the damage that the disease and its symptoms can wreak, and she provides ways to recognize the disease. Her full accounts of dysfunctional families and abuse patterns enable the reader to identify patterns that lead to codependence, while also suggesting ways to avoid recreating them in the next generation. Written in a loving, nurturing tone, this book offers reassurance while it instructs, and an appendix containing the history of codependence places the disease in its societal context. Anyone struggling with this insidious problem will warm to the helpful advice and information in this comprehensive guide to a common yet complex condition.
