 Breaking Free of the Co-dependency Trap, 2008-10-09
The authors really do deliver a clear vision into the huge world of co-dependency AND it's flip-side, counter-dependency. I love their thorough discussion of actions to take and to their case examples we can easily relate. A very complete book, this one explores many approaches to awareness and offers abundant resources. It's one to refer to always!

Breaking Free of the Co-Dependency Trap, 2008-04-11
Co-dependency has become one of those buzzwords for our modern culture. Most of us use the term to describe someone who suffers from alcoholism or drug addiction. Therefore, when we think of co-dependency, we tend to think of programs like AA.
Breaking Free of the Co-dependency Trap states that possibly 98% of the human population is co-dependent. It's not lack of self control. It's not a disease. It's not even about the alcohol, the drugs, the food, or the people pleasing behaviors.
Co-dependency is merely the way that the mind attempts to adapt to its experiences. In the first six months of life, babies are meant to learn that the world is a safe loving place and that his or her parents will always keep them safe. Once they are assured of these facts, then they can start to explore the world in an increasingly independent way.
Unfortunately, parents aren't perfect. The majority don't even know how to give this sort of unconditional love. Most are too busy worrying about day to day concerns. So for most people, their psychological development gets stuck and they spend the rest of their lives trying to gain (or dampen the need for) that love, acceptance, and security. When they have children, their children continue the same cycle.

This is hands down the best book on codependency. Most codependency books I researched involved religion which is an oxymoron. This book however explained in clear unbiased ways the causes AND solutions to codependency. If you feel this is in your personality and is affecting your quality of life, I highly recommend this book for valuable insight and workable solutions!

 Co-Dependency Trap, 2007-10-10
I did not care for this book at all. It was not very informative. It did not provide any information that I did not already know

A Good Place to start, 2007-08-11
The medical profession in general see's co-dependency as a disease that is permanent, progressive and incurable. So you can imagine my delight when I opened this book and read, that this is not so. I am co-dependant and have stumbled through my life not really knowing why I attracted time after time negative and distructive situations within my relationships. This book has given me a glimmer of hope in that I can turn this around. One of the biggest challenges I face is understanding what happened in my life for me to be in the position I am now. This book has given me the answers to my questions and more....it has provided me with a starting point to recovery and to acquire the life skills that will enable me to have the kind of relationships with others that is my divine right.
