Book Overview

The groundbreaking book Understanding Co-Dependency ushered in a new way of thinking about codependency and helped millions of people discover if they were co-dependent, if they were living with a co-dependent, and how to break the cycle. Now, in this revised edition, Joseph Cruse, founding medical director of The Betty Ford Center, provides findings and insights into codependency. Thirty years ago, clinicians viewed alcoholism as a liver disease; today research has revealed that addiction and many codependent behaviors are related to brain functioning. Cruse explores this brain connection and expands on the all-important issues of traumas it relates to codependency, denial, low self-esteem, and self-worth. With updated case studies and exercises, Understanding Codependency dispels the notion that the cycle of codependency can't be broken, offering readers a lifeline to the fulfilling relationships and lives they deserve.

Concise, direct and informative

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.
